Nokia 5233 XpressMusic Black MP3 Touchscreen, New, GSM unlocked
This is the Nokia 5233 XpressMusic (listed as Xpressmusic) in Black, the MP3 touchscreen model, brand new and GSM unlocked. All-black units are the plain, volume finish for exporters placing a Symbian touch phone in live-GSM markets, and prop departments pick black when they want an anonymous 2010 touchscreen on camera.
The Nokia 5233 is a 2010 touchscreen phone from the 5230 family, running Symbian S60 5th Edition on a 3.2-inch 360 x 640 resistive display. It offers Ovi Maps navigation with built-in GPS, the Ovi Store for apps and games, a 2 MP camera, an FM radio, a music player rated at about 30 hours per charge, a 3.5 mm jack, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot for cards up to 16 GB. The 5233 is the 2G GSM version of the line and has no Wi-Fi.
TG Wireless supplies the 5233 to exporters serving live-GSM markets where Symbian touch phones still sell, to collector shops, and to prop houses that need a working 2010 touchscreen that is not an iPhone.

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. The source listing for this model states the new unit ships in the original Nokia retail box with the original battery, battery door, manual, and stereo headset.
Network and compatibility
The Nokia 5233 is a 2G GSM phone; unlike the 5230 it was derived from, it has no 3G radio and no Wi-Fi, so data runs over GPRS and EDGE only. US carriers retired 3G in 2022, T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and a phone without LTE and VoLTE gets no US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to countries where 2G GSM is still live, collector and prop sales, and offline use of the music player, GPS maps, and games.
Resale fit
- Export to South Asian, African, and other markets where 2G GSM remains live and Symbian touch phones still sell as low-cost handsets.
- Collector and retro-phone shops stocking Nokia's XpressMusic and 5230-series models.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses that need a working, period-correct 2010 touchscreen phone.
- Offline music, navigation, and display use where a cheap GPS and media player is enough.
