Nokia 500 Black/Blue 3G Wi-Fi Touchscreen, New, GSM unlocked
In the Black/blue configuration, the Nokia 500 ships with a black body and the blue cover among its swappable backs, new in box, GSM unlocked, with the 1ghz processor, 3G and WIFI, and 5-megapixel camera. Exporters building a color assortment for UMTS-market retailers take this variant next to plain black.
The Nokia 500 is a 2011 Symbian Anna touchscreen smartphone, Nokia's first with a 1 GHz processor, sold with 2 GB of internal memory, a 5-megapixel camera, 3G and Wi-Fi, Nokia Maps with free navigation, and two extra snap-on covers in the box so the owner could change the color. It is light at 93 grams, measures 111.3 x 53.8 x 14.1 mm, and is rated for up to 7 hours of talk time and 500 hours of standby.
TG Wireless sells the Nokia 500 new in box to exporters serving markets where UMTS service remains, to collector and vintage-tech shops that want late Symbian handsets in sealed condition, and to prop and display buyers.

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 500 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with Wi-Fi and no LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it cannot get cellular service in the United States today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where UMTS or GSM service is still live, Wi-Fi-only use within the limits of Symbian Anna, collectors, and props.
Resale fit
- Exporters supplying UMTS markets with boxed touchscreen handsets at a basic-smartphone price.
- Collector and vintage-tech shops stocking sealed late-Symbian Nokias.
- Film, TV, and photo prop houses that want a 2011 touchscreen phone with changeable colored covers.
- Display and Wi-Fi-only buyers who use the handset for music, maps, and camera without service.
