Samsung Sway U650 Metallic 2-megapixel Verizon Pageplus CDMA, Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished Samsung Sway U650 in Metallic, the 2-megapixel Verizon and Pageplus CDMA slider with a stainless steel body, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested. Collectors who want a clean example of Verizon's 2008 fashion slider and display buyers who need presentable units pick the refurbished grade over carrier returns.
The Samsung Sway SCH-U650 was a 2008 Verizon fashion slider with a stainless steel body and a slim profile, built around Verizon's V CAST Music with Rhapsody service and VZ Navigator turn-by-turn directions through its A-GPS receiver. It has a 2-megapixel camera and camcorder, Bluetooth with stereo streaming, microSD expansion to 8 GB, personal email and instant messaging, and up to 4.5 hours of talk time, on Verizon's CDMA network.
TG Wireless lists the Sway as carrier returns and factory refurbished for collectors of Verizon-era sliders, prop houses and parts dealers. Verizon retired CDMA at the end of 2022 and the Sway has no GSM radio, so it is a display, prop or parts phone rather than an export unit.

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 Sway U650 is a Verizon CDMA phone with no GSM, LTE or VoLTE. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and Page Plus rode on the same network, so the Sway cannot make calls, send texts or use data on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. With no GSM radio it has no export use either, which leaves collectors, prop houses, display units and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors of Verizon fashion phones from the late 2000s.
- Film, TV and theater prop houses dressing 2008 to 2012 scenes.
- Parts, batteries and display units for repair shops and retail fixtures.
