Description
LG GW825 IQ Wi-Fi 3G 5-Megapixel Fingerprint QWERTY Touchscreen Windows Mobile 6.5 Smartphone, New, GSM unlocked
New in the original LG retail box, the GW825 is the Windows Mobile 6.5 QWERTY touchscreen smartphone with Wi-Fi, 3G, a 5-megapixel camera, and fingerprint security, sold GSM unlocked. The listing shows the full kit: battery, battery door, stereo headset, data cable, software CD, stylus, charger, and manual. Sealed-kit condition is what collector shops and prop masters pay for on this model.
The LG GW825 is the Canadian edition of LG's 2009 Windows Mobile 6.5 slider, sold as the LG IQ on Telus and closely related to AT&T's eXpo. It pairs a large resistive touchscreen with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 1 GHz Snapdragon class processor that LG billed as the fastest Windows Mobile chip of its year, a fingerprint sensor for unlocking, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, HSPA 3G, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, and a preloaded Microsoft Office suite.
TG Wireless sells the IQ in new condition to collectors who want a boxed Windows Mobile 6.5 device with its stylus and CD, to prop houses, and to exporters in markets where UMTS still runs.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The LG GW825 IQ is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM service on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers for calls or data on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it to export markets where GSM or UMTS is still live, to collectors and prop houses, to parts dealers, and to Wi-Fi-only use where the device supports it. Canadian UMTS bands overlap AT&T's, which mattered when 3G was live but not now.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that want a boxed, new-condition Windows Mobile 6.5 slider with stylus and accessories.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a late-2000s business smartphone.
- Export lots for markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
