Description
Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Black, New, GSM unlocked
This listing is the NOKIA 5300 XpressMusic in BLACK, as the listing name has it, brand new and GSM unlocked. It is a 2G-only slider, so the buyer is a collector shop, a prop house, or an exporter to a live 2G market rather than a US activation dealer. The black finish is the most recognized of the 5300's color options.
The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is a 2006 Series 40 slider built around music playback: dedicated playback keys on the side, a 240 x 320 display, a 1.3 MP camera, stereo Bluetooth, and a hot-swappable microSD slot rated for cards up to 2 GB, which Nokia pitched as room for about 1,500 tracks. It is a 2G GSM phone with GPRS and EDGE data and no 3G.
TG Wireless sells it to collectors and resellers of the XpressMusic era, to prop houses that need a recognizable mid-2000s slider, and to exporters serving markets where 2G GSM voice service is still live.

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 5300 is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE radio. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so this handset will not get voice or data service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where 2G GSM is still live, collector and enthusiast sales, film and TV props, and offline use as a music player with a microSD card.
Resale fit
- Collector and enthusiast shops that trade in mid-2000s Nokia sliders and the XpressMusic line.
- Export to markets in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America where 2G GSM voice networks remain in service.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a period-correct 2006 handset.
- Parts and display units for repair shops servicing Series 40 Nokias.
