Nokia N500 (Nokia 500) Black 3G Wi-Fi 5-megapixel Symbian Anna, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new and GSM unlocked, this Nokia N500 in black is the Nokia 500 Symbian Anna touchscreen phone with 3G, Wi-Fi, and a 5-megapixel camera. Boxed black units are the easiest to place in export lots for live-UMTS markets, and sealed stock is what Symbian collectors look for.
The Nokia 500, listed here as the N500, is a 2011 entry-level touchscreen smartphone on Symbian Anna. It was the first Symbian phone with a 1 GHz processor, in a 93 g body with changeable back covers, a 3.2-inch 640 x 360 capacitive screen, a 5 MP fixed-focus camera, 2 GB of internal memory plus microSD up to 32 GB, pentaband 3G, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, and free Nokia Maps navigation.
Dealers take the Nokia 500 from TG Wireless as a boxed low-cost Symbian unit for export markets where 3G GSM service is still live, and as collector and prop stock from Nokia's last Symbian generation.

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.
Network and compatibility
The Nokia 500 is a GSM/UMTS phone with 3G data and no LTE or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it no longer registers on a US network. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses: export to live GSM/UMTS markets, collectors, props, parts, and Wi-Fi-only use where supported. Its 3G radio is pentaband.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and a tested Nokia smartphone sells at a low ticket.
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working Symbian-era Nokia handsets in original colors.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct phones from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
- Parts and display units for repair shops and store fixtures.
