I had an Ericsson R320s at the time and that was the web page that convinced me to replace it with a Nokia E70. The joystick stopped working after many years and there was no fix for it. I switched to E90 and I hated the keyboard. It took a lot of force to press the keys and there was no clear key separation to touch-type. But that was the phone which I dropped on the pavement while riding the bike at 80 Km/h and it survived with just scratches! The best 3 phones I ever had.

Now I have a N86 which I'm going to keep until the last 2G goes offline.

haven't had a chance to try this myself, but i've been told e70's joystick simply needs disassembly and cleaning (perhaps with a judicious application of wd-40).
