Motorola Flipout MB511 Black AT&T / H20 Locked, Factory Refurbished
Reconditioned to close-to-new working order, the Factory Refurbished black Motorola Flipout MB511 is AT&T / H20 locked and tested through the pivot keypad, 3 MP camera, and Wi-Fi. Collector shops that want a clean black example without return-grade wear, and buyers running the phone as a Wi-Fi Android device, take the refurbished tier.
The Motorola Flipout MB511 is a 2010 Android smartphone with a square body whose touchscreen pivots to reveal a five-row QWERTY keypad with a dedicated number row. It runs Android 2.1 with Motorola's MOTOBLUR social layer, has a 3 MP camera with Kodak Perfect Touch processing, CrystalTalk Plus dual-microphone noise reduction, 3G data, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth, and shipped with interchangeable colored battery doors. The AT&T version sold alongside H2O Wireless, which runs on the AT&T network.
Dealers buy the Flipout from TG Wireless for its unusual form factor: collector shops, prop houses, and marketplace sellers of oddball phones want it, and repair shops use lots as donors. It has no US network service 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 Flipout MB511 is a GSM/UMTS 3G phone with no LTE. All US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so these AT&T / H2O locked units have no US voice or data service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Locked status also rules out most export use unless a lot is unlocked first; the realistic outlets are collector, prop, Wi-Fi-only Android use, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collector shops and marketplace sellers specializing in unusual form factors from the early Android era.
- Prop and display buyers who want a distinctive 2010 smartphone.
- Repair shops buying lots for keypads, housings, and the swappable battery doors.
