Description
Motorola Droid A855 Verizon Page PLUS, Factory Refurbished
Here the Motorola Droid A855 for Verizon Page PLUS is supplied as Factory Refurbished, reconditioned to close-to-new working order rather than new. Refurbished units give a consistent cosmetic standard across a lot, which suits nostalgia and collector resale listings and set-dressing orders where several matching Droids are needed at once. Confirm packaging contents with your account manager.
The Motorola Droid A855 is the original Droid, launched on Verizon in late 2009 as the first Android 2.0 handset. It pairs a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, GPS with Google Maps Navigation, and a microSD slot. The radio is Verizon CDMA/EV-DO only, with no GSM and no LTE.
At TG Wireless the A855 sells to collector and nostalgia shops as a landmark Android device, to prop houses that need the phone that launched the Droid campaign, and to parts dealers; it has no carrier use in the United States today.

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 A855 is a CDMA/EV-DO-only phone. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and the model has no LTE, no VoLTE, and no GSM radio, so it cannot register on any US carrier and cannot be exported as a working phone for GSM markets either. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers should treat it as a Wi-Fi-only device for collectors, display, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collector and enthusiast resale of the first Android 2.0 phone and the original Droid.
- Film, TV, and advertising prop houses needing a 2009 to 2010 Verizon smartphone.
- Repair shops and parts dealers buying donor units for displays, keyboards, and batteries.
- Wi-Fi-only offline use where a small Android device with a hardware keyboard is enough.
