Description
Nokia N900 32 GB Carl Zeiss Optics HD, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished and GSM unlocked, this Nokia N900 is the Maemo 5 keyboard slider with 32 GB of storage, the 5 MP Carl Zeiss optics camera, and widescreen HD video; the listing's '4G' tag is wrong, as the N900 is a 3G device. Reconditioned units with working sliders are what Linux hobbyist retailers and collector shops ask for.
The Nokia N900 of late 2009 is the Maemo 5 'mobile computer': a 3.5-inch 800 x 480 resistive touchscreen over a slide-out three-row QWERTY keyboard, a 600 MHz TI OMAP 3430 with 256 MB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage plus microSD, a 5 MP Carl Zeiss autofocus camera with a lens cover, and a full Linux desktop browser with Flash. It is a 3G phone; the '4G' in the listing name is wrong.
TG Wireless sells reconditioned N900s to Linux and maker hobbyist retailers, collectors, and prop departments; its open Maemo platform keeps an enthusiast community buying units well past the end of carrier service.

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 Nokia N900 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. Realistic uses: export to live GSM/UMTS markets, collectors, props, parts, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported. Its 3G bands were 900/1700/2100 MHz.
Resale fit
- Linux and maker hobbyist retailers whose customers still run Maemo and community ports on the N900.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working keyboard-slider smartphones.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a 2009 QWERTY smartphone.
- Parts donors for N900 repairs, especially keyboards, sliders, and USB ports.
