  • Nokia 8587: Korea Exclusive CDMA Rarity (BNIB)

    💎 Rarity Index: A (Rare)

    ⭐ WOW Factor: A model using a battery and hardware ecosystem Nokia never used anywhere else

    👁 Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10

    ⏱ Life timer: 0 | 📦 Boxed: YES

    📅 Release Year: 2003 | 💰 Release Price: 350 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~200k


    📰 Why this phone matters: A truly unique Nokia released only for the South Korean market, the 8587 stands apart as one of the rarest and most unusual devices ever carrying the Nokia name. Built through a Korean ODM partnership, it blends classic Nokia software with Sanyo-style hardware, a proprietary domestic battery, and a design never used in any global Nokia model.

    This BNIB unit is a preserved time capsule from Nokia’s short-lived Korean CDMA experiment – a phone that looks Nokia on the outside but is unmistakably Korean-engineered inside. Closely related to models like the Nokia 8887, the 8587 represents a completely different branch of Nokia history, available only to local carriers and unseen outside Korea.

    A standout collectible for any serious Nokia or CDMA enthusiast.

    Highlights:

    Korea-exclusive model (RH-15)

    ODM-built with pseudo-Sanyo design and proprietary battery

    MIC-certified Korean domestic release (Dec 2003)

    Ultra-rare BNIB condition

    Part of Nokia’s experimental Korean CDMA lineup (e.g., 8587 / 8887)

    A true oddity: a Nokia that doesn’t follow Nokia’s global hardware standards
