Samsung Flipshot U900 Black 3-Megapixel Rotating Display, Carrier Returns, Verizon / Page Plus
Carrier return Samsung Flipshot U900 units in black, the 3-megapixel rotating-display Verizon and Page Plus clamshell, tested and graded by TG on receipt. Carrier returns are the value grade for prop houses and parts accounts that need quantity of working Flipshots without paying for refurbished cosmetics. Packaging varies; your account manager confirms what each lot includes.
The Samsung Flipshot, model SCH-U900, is a 2007 Verizon clamshell whose 2.2-inch internal display swivels 180 degrees so the phone closes into a camera with the screen facing out. It carries a 3-megapixel camera with 10x digital zoom and multiple shooting modes, MPEG-4 video capture, TV-out, Bluetooth 1.2 with A2DP, a microSD slot, dedicated music keys, and EV-DO data for Verizon's V CAST services. It is a CDMA phone, so it has no US service today. TG Wireless sells the Flipshot in black and red to collectors who want the rotating-camera design, to prop and display buyers, and to parts accounts.

Condition: Carrier Returns
Carrier return units come back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG on receipt. Expect a mix of open-box and lightly handled units; cosmetics and packaging are confirmed per lot by your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The Flipshot is a CDMA-only handset. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, Page Plus ran on that same network, and the phone has no GSM, LTE, or VoLTE radio, so it cannot be activated on any US carrier and has no SIM slot to carry abroad. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors who want the rotating-camera design, film and TV props, parts and housings, and display units.
Resale fit
- Collector and enthusiast buyers of unusual mid-2000s Samsung designs, especially in red.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses that need working-looking Verizon-era flips.
- Parts, housings, and display units for repair shops and retail counters.
