LG Optimus M MS690 MetroPCS, A Grade, carrier returns
Listed as Lg-ms690-cr Metropcs Carrier Returns A-stock, this is the LG Optimus M MS690 for MetroPCS, returned through the carrier channel and graded A-stock after TG's testing, so expect light use and at most very minor marks. Collector shops that want a clean early prepaid Android and prop houses that need MetroPCS-branded handsets take it by the piece or the lot.
The LG MS690 is the Optimus M, MetroPCS's version of LG's 2010 Optimus One family and one of the first low-cost Androids sold on a US prepaid carrier. It is a 3.2-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen phone on Android 2.2 with a 3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a microSD slot, running on the MetroPCS CDMA network of the time. The listing names it by model number and carrier only, with no storage or color.
TG Wireless sells carrier-return Optimus M units to collector shops that want an early prepaid Android, to prop departments, and to parts dealers who buy complete handsets for screens and housings by the lot.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Optimus M MS690 is a CDMA handset built for the Verizon network family and has no LTE or VoLTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier activates CDMA-only phones now, so this unit gets no US voice or data service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors and retro-tech shops, film and TV props, parts, store display units, and offline media playback where the phone supports it.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working MetroPCS-era Androids.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a small 2010 prepaid Android.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
- Wi-Fi-only use for test benches and app developers who need a Froyo build.
