Brand new Samsung Wave II in black, the Bada 3G WI-FI 5-megapixel 1ghz HD Touchscreen GT-S8530, GSM Unlocked and complete in the Samsung box with battery, charger, stereo headset, data cable, and user guide per the old listing. Exporters who want a sealed flagship-class 3G touchscreen for UMTS markets, and bada collectors, are the buyers.
The Samsung Wave II GT-S8530 is the late-2010 flagship of Samsung's bada platform: a 3.7-inch Super Clear LCD behind Gorilla Glass, the same 1 GHz Hummingbird chip as the Galaxy S, a 5 MP camera with 720p HD recording, 2 GB of storage with a microSD slot, 3G HSDPA, Wi-Fi n, and T9 Trace swipe input, in a metal-bodied slider-free bar. It shipped in black and silver.
TG Wireless sells the Wave II new to exporters serving markets with live UMTS service, to collectors who want the best bada hardware, and to prop and parts buyers. It has no LTE and does not activate on US carriers.

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 Wave II GT-S8530 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM service on August 3, 2026, so it cannot register for calls or data on a US network today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it into export markets where GSM or UMTS is still live, to collectors, prop houses, and parts dealers.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where GSM or UMTS service is still live and a metal-bodied 3.7-inch touchscreen sells at a low ticket.
- Collectors of Samsung's bada platform who want the flagship Wave II.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct handsets in a known color.
