Samsung Renown U810 Brown, Factory Refurbished, Verizon
Brown Samsung Renown U810 for Verizon and Page Plus, factory refurbished to close-to-new working order and tested, a CDMA and quad-band GSM world-phone clamshell with a 2 MP camera. Its GSM roaming radio gives exporters a possible use on live 2G networks abroad, and the brown metal flip design suits collectors and prop houses dressing late-2000s business scenes.
The Samsung Renown SCH-U810 was Verizon's 2008 global clamshell, a business flip phone that paired Verizon's CDMA EV-DO service at home with quad-band GSM/EDGE roaming abroad through a pre-installed SIM card. It had a 2-megapixel camera with a night mode, Bluetooth, A-GPS for VZ Navigator, a microSD slot to 8 GB, mobile email and up to 5 hours of talk time, in a brown metal finish.
Verizon's CDMA network closed at the end of 2022, but the Renown's GSM side still registers on live 2G networks overseas, so TG Wireless sells it to exporters as well as to collectors, prop houses and parts buyers who want a refurbished world-phone flip.

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 Renown U810 is a dual-mode phone: CDMA for Verizon and Page Plus, which no longer exists since Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and quad-band 2G GSM for roaming. It has no LTE or VoLTE, and T-Mobile ended US 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so there is no US service in any mode. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table; the GSM side may be locked to Verizon's roaming SIM. Realistic uses are export to live-2G markets if unlocked, collectors, props and parts.
Resale fit
- Exporters to markets with live 2G GSM networks, subject to the GSM side being unlocked.
- Collectors and prop houses that want a late-2000s Verizon business flip in brown.
- Parts and display units for repair shops.
