Motorola Flipside MB508, Factory Refurbished, AT&T branded, unlocked
Here the Motorola Flipside MB508 comes Factory Refurbished: the AT&T Android 2.1 slider with 3.1-inch touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, trackpad, 3 MP camera, 3G, and Wi-Fi, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and stated as GSM unlocked. Repair shops and Wi-Fi-only Android deployments take refurbished units for consistent working condition at a lower tier than new.
The Motorola Flipside MB508 is a 2010 AT&T Android smartphone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.1-inch touchscreen with pinch-to-zoom, and a laptop-style trackpad for one-handed navigation. It runs Android 2.1 with MOTOBLUR, has a 3 MP fixed-focus camera and camcorder, HSDPA 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, GPS with AT&T Navigator, Bluetooth, a hot-swappable microSD slot with a 2 GB card included as sold new and support for 32 GB cards, and a rated six hours of talk time.
TG Wireless supplies the Flipside new and refurbished to collector shops, prop houses, and repair benches. With no live US network for a 3G-only phone, it is sold for Wi-Fi Android use, display, and parts.

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/HSDPA 3G phone with no LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it will not get service on any US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The current listing describes the phone as AT&T-branded and GSM unlocked; unlocked units can still register on GSM/UMTS networks abroad where 3G remains live, and the phone works on Wi-Fi as an Android device.
Resale fit
- Collector shops stocking early AT&T Android sliders.
- Export resellers for markets where GSM/UMTS 3G service still operates.
- Repair shops sourcing keyboards, trackpads, and housings.
- Prop and display buyers who need a 2010 slider smartphone.
