Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. 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. The GSM band set of this lot is not stated; confirm with your account manager for export.
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.
