Nokia 6800 T-Mobile / SimpleMobile, New
The Nokia 6800 T-Mobile / Simplemobile listed here is the fold-out QWERTY messaging phone, brand new in the original retail box with battery, charger, and user guide. The unusual keyboard design makes it a collector and prop-house item first, with exporters taking sealed units for GSM 850/1900 markets where a basic phone with a full keyboard still sells.
The Nokia 6800 is a 2003 messaging phone for T-Mobile whose keypad flips open sideways to reveal a full horizontal QWERTY keyboard on either side of the display, so the owner could write text messages, multimedia messages, and email with the cover closed or open. It carries instant messaging for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ, a POP3/IMAP4 email client, an FM radio, voice-activated dialing, a speakerphone, T9 predictive text, an organizer with calendar and task list, and data synchronization, on dual-band 850/1900 MHz GSM.
TG Wireless sells the 6800 new in box to collectors of early QWERTY phones, to prop houses that need a distinctive pre-smartphone messaging device, and to exporters placing 2G handsets in GSM 850/1900 markets.

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. Lock state is not stated in the listing beyond the T-Mobile branding; confirm with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The 6800 is a dual-band 2G GSM phone with no 3G or LTE, and its 850/1900 MHz bands were built for North American networks. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, AT&T shut down 2G in 2017, and US 3G closed in 2022, so it cannot get service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to GSM 850/1900 markets, collectors of early keyboard phones, and props.
Resale fit
- Collector and vintage-tech shops stocking boxed early-2000s QWERTY phones.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses that need a distinctive pre-smartphone messaging handset.
- Exporters supplying GSM 850/1900 markets with sealed basic phones.
