Why this phone matters
A never-released Nokia C5-02 engineering prototype, built for China Telecom’s CDMA network. Under the battery, the label still reads “Property of Nokia, Not for sale” (Type RM-686, HWID 2000, made in China).
A slider that mixes a touchscreen and stylus with a full numeric keypad, Chinese input keys and the China Telecom eSurfing swirl on the navigation key, plus a 5-megapixel camera. CDMA prototypes from Nokia’s China programme rarely surface outside China.
The phone is functional. The only weak point is the screen, which is not in its best shape: the display looks faded. It comes with its stylus and a Nokia BL-5F battery.
