Motorola Droid A854 Alltel, Factory Refurbished, Alltel CDMA
Factory refurbished Motorola Droid A854 Alltel, the 3G Wi-Fi HD Android QWERTY slider with the 5-megapixel camera, reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Prop departments that want matching original-DROID handsets, collectors who want the Alltel variant working, and repair shops that keep reference units are the buyers; the Alltel network is gone.
The Motorola A854 is the Alltel version of the original DROID, sold in 2010 after Alltel's regional markets carried over from the Verizon acquisition. It matches the Verizon A855: a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen, one of the thinnest full-QWERTY sliders of its day, a 5 MP camera with flash and DVD-quality video, Wi-Fi, GPS with Google Maps Navigation, and Android 2.0 on a CDMA EV-DO radio. Alltel branding makes it an uncommon variant.
TG Wireless offers the A854 to collectors who want the Alltel DROID, to prop departments, and to repair shops that need DROID keyboards, screens, and batteries.

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 DROID A854 is a CDMA handset built for Alltel's 1x and EV-DO network, with no GSM radio, no LTE, and no VoLTE. Alltel retired CDMA at the end of 2022 and US 3G is gone on every carrier, so the phone cannot be activated on any US network today, and the CDMA-only radio rules out most export use. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors, props, parts, display units, and Wi-Fi or offline use where supported. Alltel itself was absorbed by Verizon and AT&T.
Resale fit
- Collectors and retro-tech sellers who stock working carrier handsets from the period.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a period-correct carrier phone.
- Repair shops and parts dealers that need donor housings, boards, and keypads.
