Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Lilac Purple, Factory Refurbished, GSM Unlocked
Offered factory refurbished, the Nokia 5300 Xpressmusic Lilac Purple GSM Unlocked is the purple variant of the 2006 music slider, reconditioned to close-to-new working order, with external music keys, stereo Bluetooth, a microSD slot, and a 1.3 MP camera. Lilac is a less common 5300 color, which is why collector shops and marketplace sellers of retro phones take it first; exporters to live-GSM markets take it as a basic 2G slider.
Nokia's 5300 XpressMusic of 2006 was the first slider in the XpressMusic series, built around music portability: external music keys, a player that holds up to 1,500 tracks on a 2 GB microSD card, stereo Bluetooth, a 240 x 320 QVGA display with over 200,000 colors, a 1.3 MP camera, a speakerphone, a flashlight, and EDGE data on a 2G GSM radio. It has no 3G or LTE. The lilac purple finish was one of the later color options alongside the original orange and white.
TG Wireless offers it factory refurbished to collectors of XpressMusic sliders, to exporters covering markets where GSM service remains live, to prop houses, and to parts buyers.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
This is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G, no LTE, and no VoLTE. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026 and AT&T shut down 2G years earlier, so it will not register for voice or data on any US carrier today. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM service is still live, collectors and enthusiasts, film and TV props, and parts or display units. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
