Description
Sony Ericsson W890 RB (listed as 4G; UMTS 2100 3G), Factory Refurbished, lock state not stated
Listed as the Sony Ericsson W890 RB 4G, this is the W890i Walkman candybar, Factory Refurbished, and in practice a UMTS 2100 3G phone rather than a 4G one. Color and lock state are not stated, so your account manager confirms both per lot. Exporters who need a slim, metal-bodied music phone for live GSM or UMTS 2100 markets and collector shops are the buyers.
The Sony Ericsson W890i is the slim 2008 Walkman candybar with a metal-trimmed body, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 2-inch display, the Walkman player with Shake Control, an FM radio, Bluetooth, and a Memory Stick Micro slot. It is a 3G UMTS 2100 phone with quad-band GSM for roaming; the '4G' in the listing name is a legacy error, since the model has no LTE radio. TG Wireless lists it Factory Refurbished for exporters who place thin Walkman candybars in markets with live GSM or UMTS 2100 service, and for collector shops that want the metal-bodied W890 as one of the better-built handsets of the line.

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 W890i carries quad-band GSM and UMTS 2100 3G, not 4G as the listing name says, and it has no LTE or VoLTE. Lock state is not stated in the listing; see the network status line in the table and confirm with your account manager. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so there is no US service; the market is export to live GSM or UMTS 2100 regions, collectors, and props.
Resale fit
- Export lots for Europe, Asia, and other regions with live UMTS 2100 or GSM service.
- Collector and retro-phone shops stocking metal-bodied Walkman candybars.
- Prop and display buyers.
