Description
Samsung Galaxy S I9000 8GB Black 1GHz 3G 4" Super AMOLED Android, Carrier Returns, T-Mobile locked
Supplied as carrier returns described in the old listing as A-stock, this is the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 in Black, the 2010 original with a 1GHz processor, 8GB of listed storage, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen on Google Android, branded and locked for T-Mobile and Simple Mobile. Collectors, prop houses, and parts buyers are the realistic customers.
The Galaxy S GT-I9000 is the 2010 phone that launched Samsung's Galaxy S line: a 4-inch Super AMOLED display with low reflection, a 1 GHz processor, 16 GB of internal memory in this listing, Wi-Fi with wireless tethering, Bluetooth 3.0, HD video recording with TV-out, and Android with Samsung's Layar augmented-reality browser and ThinkFree Office. The name says 8GB and the old heading says 16GB; see the notes. This lot is branded for T-Mobile and Simple Mobile and is listed as 3G only.
TG Wireless sells the I9000 as carrier returns to collectors, prop houses, and exporters to markets where UMTS service is still live; it gets no US cellular service today.

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 Galaxy S I9000 is a 2G GSM and 3G phone with no LTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so this handset gets no US cellular service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The old heading describes the units as T-Mobile / Simple Mobile locked. Realistic uses are collectors of the first Galaxy S, film and TV props, Wi-Fi-only use, export to UMTS markets after unlocking, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors and enthusiasts who want the original Galaxy S in T-Mobile branding.
- Film and TV prop houses that need period-correct 2010 Android phones.
- Wi-Fi-only use, display units, and parts for repair shops.
- Export to UMTS markets where the units can be unlocked and used.
