Description
Motorola Dext / Cliq, A Grade, Carrier Returns, T-Mobile branded, GSM unlocked
The Motorola Dext / Cliq, Motorola's first Android with a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, QWERTY keyboard, and 3G, in the T-Mobile build sold GSM unlocked, from a carrier-return lot graded A Grade: tested, lightly used, with at most very minor marks. Collectors who want a clean first-generation MOTOBLUR phone and exporters with live UMTS markets are the buyers for this one.
The Motorola CLIQ, sold as the DEXT outside the US, was Motorola's first Android phone, launched on T-Mobile in late 2009 with the MOTOBLUR interface that pulled Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and email into the home screen. It has a 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen, a side-sliding full QWERTY keyboard, a 5 MP autofocus camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, and 3G on quad-band GSM, running Android 1.5 on a 528 MHz Qualcomm chip.
TG Wireless offers the CLIQ / DEXT to collectors of first-generation Android hardware, to prop departments, to exporters serving live UMTS markets, and to parts dealers.

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 CLIQ / DEXT is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. The source lists quad-band GSM with 3G; the T-Mobile CLIQ carries UMTS 1700/2100. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it cannot register on a US network today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it into export markets where GSM or UMTS is still live, to collectors, prop houses, parts dealers, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM and UMTS networks are still live and an entry Android still activates.
- Repair shops and parts dealers that need donor screens, boards, and batteries for the model.
- Collectors and prop houses that want a working early Android handset.
- Wi-Fi-only use as a media, testing, or demo device where no SIM is needed.
