Nokia 6500 Classic 4G (3G) Anodized Aluminum Body, New, GSM unlocked
New Nokia 6500 Classic handsets with the anodized aluminum body, GSM unlocked, listed as Nokia 6500 4G although the phone is a 3G UMTS model. The slim polished metal case is why collector shops and design-minded resellers want this one, and exporters to live UMTS markets take it as a sealed premium feature phone.
The Nokia 6500 Classic is a 2007 fashion candybar with a one-piece anodized aluminum body only 9.4 mm thick, each unit individually polished with a diamond-cut display bevel and cold-stamped logo. It is a quad-band GSM/EDGE phone with UMTS/HSDPA 3G on the 850 and 2100 MHz bands, a 2 MP camera with video, 1 GB of internal memory with no card slot, Bluetooth stereo, email with attachments, and up to 5.5 hours of talk time. The name's 4G tag is wrong; this is a 3G phone. TG Wireless supplies new, GSM unlocked units to collectors, prop houses, and exporters.

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 Nokia 6500 Classic is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. The listing gives its bands as UMTS 850/2100. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers move it to export markets where GSM or UMTS is still live, to collectors and prop houses, to parts dealers, and to Wi-Fi-only use where supported.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and a Symbian-era phone sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Nokia handsets from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
