Nokia N8 Silver / Grey 16GB 3G Wi-Fi 12-megapixel HD Video Multitouch Symbian, New, GSM unlocked
Listed as Silver / Grey with 16GB of storage, this brand new Nokia N8 is GSM unlocked and carries the 12-megapixel camera, HD video, 3G, Wi-Fi, and the multitouch Symbian screen. The silver finish shows the aluminum body off, so it suits display cases and collector listings as much as live-UMTS export lots.
Nokia's N8 of 2010 was built as a camera first and a phone second: a 12 MP Carl Zeiss module with xenon flash and 720p video sits in a machined aluminum shell with a 3.5-inch AMOLED multitouch display. It debuted Symbian^3, carries 16 GB of storage with a microSD slot, and adds pentaband 3G, Wi-Fi n, HDMI out, USB host mode, and Dolby Digital Plus output over HDMI. Nokia sold it in dark grey, silver white, green, blue, and orange.
Dealers come to TG Wireless for the N8 to supply collector shops, live-UMTS export markets, prop departments, and repairers who want donor units for camera and screen swaps.

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 N8 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 UMTS radio is pentaband.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops: the N8 is the most sought-after Symbian camera phone and sells on condition and color.
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and an aluminum-bodied 12 MP phone still has a following.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a period-correct 2010 smartphone.
- Parts donors for N8 repairs, especially the camera module and AMOLED panel.
