Description
Nokia 1680 T-Mobile, New, T-Mobile branded
New Nokia 1680 classic handsets from the T-Mobile prepaid channel under the SKU NOKIA-1680, with lock status confirmed per lot. The VGA camera and email support make it a slightly better export unit than the 1661 for GSM 850/1900 markets in the Americas, and prop departments take the T-Mobile branded box for late-2000s set dressing.
The Nokia 1680 classic is a 2008 entry candybar that T-Mobile sold on its prepaid plans, a step above the camera-less 1661 because it adds a VGA camera with video recording, a web browser, email and instant messaging, and MMS alongside SMS. The 1.8-inch 128 x 160 color screen, speakerphone, and roughly four hours of talk time round out a phone built for calls and texts on T-Mobile's GSM 850/1900 network with EDGE data. TG Wireless lists new, T-Mobile branded units for exporters serving live GSM markets, collector and prop buyers, and anyone who needs a boxed period basic phone.

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 1680 classic is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The listing gives its GSM bands as GSM 850/1900. US carriers shut down 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM service, collectors, props, parts, and display units.
Resale fit
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM service is still live and a simple tested handset sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Nokia phones from the 2000s.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct handsets.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
