Samsung S3550 Shark 3 2-megapixel Quadband, New, GSM unlocked
New Samsung S3550 Shark 3, the 2-megapixel Quadband slider, GSM unlocked in its original box. Color is not stated, so confirm with the account manager. Exporters who supply prepaid counters in live-2G GSM markets take sealed sliders like this, and collector shops occasionally want the Shark line for its metallic design.
The Samsung Shark 3 GT-S3550 is a 2010 quad-band GSM slider with a patterned metallic back cover, a 2-megapixel camera, 40 MB of built-in memory, a microSD slot to 8 GB, instant messaging and social-network shortcuts, and a revised interface with an extra center soft key. It is a 2G phone with EDGE data and was sold unlocked across Europe, Asia and Latin America as a stylish budget slider.
TG Wireless lists the Shark 3 for exporters working markets with live 2G GSM service, where a boxed slider with a camera and expandable memory still sells, and for collector and prop buyers.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Shark 3 S3550 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G, LTE or VoLTE. US 3G was retired in 2022 and T-Mobile, the last US 2G GSM network, shut it down on August 3, 2026, so it gets no service on any US carrier whatever its lock state. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. It remains useful for export to markets with live 2G GSM networks, for collectors and prop houses, and as parts or display units.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying markets in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia where 2G or 3G GSM service is still live.
- Collectors and prop houses that need period-correct Samsung handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and retail fixtures.
