Motorola Droid A854 3G, Factory Refurbished, CDMA
Factory Refurbished Motorola Droid A854 3G, the CDMA Milestone with the slide-out QWERTY keyboard and 3.7-inch display, reconditioned and tested by TG Wireless. No color or carrier is stated on the listing, so confirm the housing and the original network with your account manager. Collector shops and prop houses are the realistic buyers, since the phone has no live US network.
The Motorola A854 is the CDMA Milestone, the 2009 sibling of the original Verizon Droid A855 that launched Android 2.0 and the Droid brand. It is a slide-out QWERTY smartphone with a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 display, a 5 MP camera with dual LED flash, a TI OMAP 3430 processor, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth, a 3.5 mm jack, and a microSD slot that shipped with a 16 GB card. It later received Android 2.2.
Today this is a CDMA-only 3G device with no live US network, so TG Wireless moves it to collector and enthusiast shops, prop houses, and parts and display buyers who want the first Droid-era hardware in tested, refurbished condition rather than a working carrier phone.

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 A854 is a CDMA/EV-DO 3G handset with no LTE radio and no GSM radio. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and no US carrier offers 3G service today, so this phone cannot register for calls or data in the United States. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collector display, film and TV props, parts harvesting, and Wi-Fi-only use for the Android apps it still runs.
Resale fit
- Collector and enthusiast shops that want the first-generation Droid hardware with the sliding keyboard.
- Film, TV, and photo prop rental houses that need period-correct 2009 to 2010 smartphones.
- Repair shops buying refurbished donors for displays, keyboards, and housings.
