Description
Samsung T329 Stripe Black, A Grade carrier returns, GSM unlocked
This Black Samsung T329 Stripe, GSM Unlocked, comes from carrier-return stock graded A Grade: lightly used, fully tested, with very minor marks at most. Collector shops and prop buyers who want a clean-looking T-Mobile slider take the A Grade, and exporters pick it when a destination retailer wants near-new cosmetics without paying for refurbished.
The Samsung T329 Stripe is a lightweight T-Mobile slider feature phone from 2008. It carries a VGA 640 x 480 camera with 4x digital zoom, Bluetooth for headsets, a speakerphone, picture caller ID, MIDI and MP3 ringers, instant messaging through AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, and MSN, and built-in games, calculator, alarm, and calendar. It is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G.
TG Wireless sells the Stripe to exporters who supply basic sliders to 2G GSM markets, to collector shops that want T-Mobile-era Samsung sliders in black and silver, and to prop and display buyers. T-Mobile's 2G shutdown in August 2026 ended its US network life, so domestic activation is not a use case.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote. The listing states the original battery, battery door, charger, user guide, and Samsung box.
Network and compatibility
The T329 Stripe is a 2G GSM-only phone, so it gets no service on any US carrier: T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, the 3G networks it never had were retired in 2022, and it has no LTE. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Abroad, it works on surviving 2G GSM networks, which is where exporters place it, and the camera, Bluetooth, and offline tools function without a SIM.
Resale fit
- Export to 2G GSM markets where a slim Samsung slider still sells as a basic voice and text phone.
- Collectors and enthusiasts of T-Mobile-era Samsung sliders in black and silver.
- Film, TV, and theater props that need a 2008 slider that powers on.
- Repair shops stocking donor units for slider mechanisms and keypads.
