Nokia 8801 Silver Stainless Steel, Factory Refurbished, lock state not stated
Factory refurbished Nokia 8801 sliders in silver stainless steel, listed as Nokia-8801-silver-rb and reconditioned to working order; lock status is not stated. The 8801 is the US-band version of the 8800, so US collectors and luxury-phone resellers prefer it, and prop departments use it as a premium mid-2000s handset.
The Nokia 8801 is the 2005 North American version of the Nokia 8800, a stainless steel slider with a spring-assisted mechanism, a scratch-resistant glass-covered 1.7-inch 208 x 208 display, an SVGA camera with video, Bluetooth, 64 MB of internal memory with no card slot, and ringtones composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto. It differs from the 8800 in its GSM band set, which covers the US 850 and 1900 bands. The listing gives only the model, color, RB code, and material. TG Wireless supplies factory refurbished units in silver to collectors, luxury-phone resellers, and prop departments.

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
The Nokia 8801 is a 2G GSM handset with no 3G, LTE, or VoLTE. The listing gives its GSM bands as GSM 850/1800/1900. 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. Lock state is not stated in the listing.
Resale fit
- Collector and luxury-phone resellers who stock Nokia's steel 8800 series.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a premium mid-2000s slider.
- Export lots for regions where 2G GSM service is still live and a steel Nokia sells on design.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
