Motorola Flipside MB508 AT&T / H2O Locked, Factory Refurbished, AT&T locked
Factory refurbished Motorola Flipside MB508, the AT&T keyboard slider, locked to AT&T / H2O and reconditioned to close-to-new working order. Refurbished units give exporters and retro-tech sellers a consistent cosmetic standard across a lot, which matters when the buyer is reselling individual pieces rather than stripping parts.
The Motorola Flipside MB508 is a 2010 AT&T Android phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.1-inch touchscreen, and a small laptop-style trackpad for one-handed navigation. It ran Android 2.1 with MOTOBLUR, supported Exchange push email with remote wipe and password policies, and carried HSDPA 3G, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, GPS, and a hot-swap microSD slot with a 2 GB card included at launch.
TG Wireless sells the Flipside to exporters who place keyboard Androids into live-3G markets, to prop departments that need carrier-branded phones from the period, and to parts and collector buyers.

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 Flipside MB508 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it to export markets with live GSM or UMTS, collectors, prop houses, parts dealers, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported. Units are listed as AT&T / H2O locked, which limits even export use to carriers that will accept an AT&T-locked IMEI.
Resale fit
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones.
- Export buyers who unlock or use AT&T-locked keyboard Androids in live-UMTS markets.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working early-2010s Motorola handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
