Samsung Highlight T749 Ice Blue 3G 3-Megapixel Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile GSM unlocked
Reconditioned to Factory Refurbished standard, this Samsung Highlight T749 Ice Blue is the 3G 3-megapixel touchscreen T-Mobile model, GSM unlocked. The refurbished tier suits collector shops and prop departments that want a clean, working Ice Blue Highlight, and exporters who need consistent cosmetics across a lot.
The Samsung Highlight, model SGH-T749, is a 2009 T-Mobile touchscreen feature phone: a 3-inch screen with auto-rotation and a virtual landscape QWERTY keyboard, a 3 MP camera with video capture, a music player, a microSD slot for cards up to 16 GB, assisted GPS, and Bluetooth with stereo streaming. It ran T-Mobile's TouchWiz-style menu rather than a smartphone OS and came in translucent Ice Blue and Fire Red shells.
TG Wireless supplies the T749 to exporters serving GSM and UMTS markets, to collectors who want the distinctive colored housings, and to prop and display buyers who need working pre-smartphone touchscreens.

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 Highlight is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone without LTE. T-Mobile's 2G GSM network closed on August 3, 2026, and all US 3G UMTS service ended in 2022, so this handset gets no US carrier service today. These units are listed GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. Outside the US, an unlocked T749 still registers where GSM 850/900/1800/1900 or UMTS 1700/2100 service is live, and the music player, camera, and Bluetooth work anywhere without a SIM.
Resale fit
- Export lots for GSM and AWS-band UMTS markets.
- Collector shops wanting the Ice Blue translucent housing in tested condition.
- Prop houses and display counters that need working 2009-era touchscreen phones.
- Parts donors for screens, housings, and batteries.
