Description
Motorola Dext / Cliq, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile branded, GSM unlocked
Reconditioned to close-to-new working order, this factory refurbished Motorola Dext / Cliq is the T-Mobile QWERTY slider that introduced MOTOBLUR, listed GSM unlocked in the source; color is not stated. Collectors of early Androids, prop houses, and parts suppliers are the buyers, since no US network can serve it; confirm packaging with your account manager.
The Motorola Cliq, sold as the Dext outside the US, was Motorola's first Android phone in late 2009 and the first with the MOTOBLUR overlay that streams Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and e-mail to the home screen and backs up contacts online. It pairs a 3.1-inch touchscreen with a side-sliding full QWERTY keyboard, a 5 MP camera with video, GPS with Google Maps, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, a 2 GB microSD card, up to 6 hours of talk time, quad-band GSM, and 3G on T-Mobile's AWS 1700/2100 band.
TG Wireless sells this factory refurbished lot to collectors of first-generation Androids, prop houses, and parts suppliers; with no LTE it has no US service.

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 Dext / Cliq is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone built for T-Mobile's AWS 1700/2100 band; the "4G" in the source heading is not accurate, as the model has no LTE and no VoLTE. With US 3G retired in 2022 and T-Mobile 2G GSM closed on August 3, 2026, it gets no voice or data service on US carriers. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Export is realistic only where UMTS runs on the AWS band or 2G GSM remains live; the main channels are collectors of the first Motorola Android, prop houses, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors of first-generation Motorola Androids and MOTOBLUR devices.
- Film, TV, and photo prop houses that need 2009-era slider phones.
- Parts suppliers and display buyers.
- Export to GSM/UMTS markets on the AWS band set where service remains live.
