LG VS660 Vortex 3G Wi-Fi Android 2.2 touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, Verizon / Page Plus
Reconditioned to close-to-new working order, this factory refurbished LG VS660 Vortex is the Verizon and Page Plus 3G Wi-Fi Android 2.2 touchscreen with a 3-megapixel camera and Virtual Swype keyboard, listed without a color. Hobbyists and developers who want a clean Wi-Fi-only Android 2.2 device for legacy app testing favor the refurbished grade over carrier returns.
The LG Vortex VS660 was Verizon's entry-level Android phone for late 2010: Android 2.2 Froyo on a 3.2-inch touchscreen with a virtual keyboard and Swype input, a 3.2 MP camera and camcorder, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, a 2 GB microSD card in the box, and a 3G Mobile Hotspot that shared the CDMA connection with up to five devices. Bing Maps and Search, Skype Mobile, and DivX playback came preloaded. It was a first-smartphone handset, sold cheap on contract and through Page Plus.
TG Wireless sells the Vortex to prop houses, collectors, and parts dealers, since the CDMA network it was built for is gone and the phone cannot be activated in the US.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The Vortex is a CDMA 3G Android phone with no LTE radio. Verizon shut down its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus went with it, so the VS660 gets no voice or data service on any US carrier today. Lock state is listed per unit; see the network status line in the table. The phone still works over Wi-Fi as a small Android 2.2 device for offline apps, and it suits collectors, props, and parts rather than activation.
Resale fit
- Prop houses and set dressers who need early Android touchscreens that power on and look period-correct.
- Collectors and enthusiasts building early Android and Verizon collections.
- Parts dealers sourcing LG VS660 batteries, screens, and housings.
- Developers and hobbyists who want a Wi-Fi-only Android 2.2 device for legacy testing.
