Nokia E90 Communicator - requiescat in pace

I lost an old friend last weekend: My Nokia E90 Communicator suffered a painful death after being squeezed into a banana in my backpack. My old friend lived for a couple of hours after that, but then without warning it passed away quick & quietly.

My employer refuses to let me have a new one, saying that phone models are company policy and that everyone must obey the present rules. That sounds simple, but after ten years madly in love with 9210, 9500, and 9300, my life now feels really miserable. My private economy makes it impossible for me to buy a new one, or even a second-hand model. I'm stuck. I'm alone, and slightly depressed.

So, instead of a new E90, they gave me a E71. These people can't possibly know what a good phone means to me. I can bear the fact that the E90 weights twice as much as a E71, and that the E90 technology is over two years old already. I know it is considered to be sluggish and out of date, but I really don't care about those facts. I have a "twin subscription" and can use a smaller phone on the same number as my E90 in situations where this is suitable. The big benefit with E90 is the reliability, the ruggedness and the extreme quality and user friendliness. It simply made me more efficient.

Instead of the wonderful big 5x2" QWERTY keyboard of the E90, I now have to use the 2x1" micro keyboard on the E71. Yes I see that it's working, but the speed and accuracy is gone. I use my thumb finger nails in order to hit the right keys, but I have big hands. So the speed vanished. Puff. Gone. The wonderful Calendar of the E90: Puff - gone. The easy-to-use-Notes: Puff - gone. Efficiency: On vacation. (May be back one day). The solid and reliable phone: Gone with the wind.

I have promised myself to really try to like the E71. Of course it will be easier to use in a couple of days, but if things don't improve I'm afraid I have to raise the necessary amount and buy me a used one. Do you have one you can spare?
