I am selling my Nokia E70 after having upgraded to a Nokia E90 I bought myself as graduation present.
The E70 is in overall good condition apart from one issue: the analogue stick, sometimes, can need to be moved more than once to accept command. This is a kind of wear that occurs often with Nokia E70's, and you are not likely to find better sticks in better condition when buying used units from anywhere. It can be replaced by mobile phone customer service shops for around 20-30€ and I did so 8 months ago, but as said, the issue occurred again as of late and I can't be bothered to fix it again.
To my knowledge, going price to used E70's is 140-150€ in Europe (plus shipment). I am asking 105€ shipped to account for the joystick issue which I am not going to hide, so you can fix it and have a perfectly working one for less than the price of an used one from eBay, and won't have to make a jump in the dark like it often happens with eBay.
There are also online shops which sell the joystick module for 10$ (including the underlying circuit), as well as instructions on internet for taking the phone apart, but it's not something I am willing to attempt, both for lack of time and interest.
Personally, I think the Keyboard is one of the most ergonomic and fastest I have ever owned (I am a self admitted portable writing junkie), and I even wrote large parts of my dissertation on it when being away from home.
The phone is "jailbroken", in that it accepts any unsigned application to be installed, without having to deal with certificates like Symbian usually imposes. This doesn't come with any drawbacks, btw, but I can restore it to factory settings if this is what the buyer asks (a hard reset is enough, or reinstalling the firmware).

Thanks for looking,
