Just read your tragic story, and I do feel sorry for you
Man I would hate to have any thing happening to any of my every day gadgets, I don't think I would survive for a full day
To what I can read, you are looking for something just like your late model, just better, hmmmm.... since there have neen no big development on the hardware front since 2004, you might be in for a loooong search :/
But how about some of the other "Full QWERTY under the screen models"?
The new Treo comes in to mind :/
Or if you realy are into those Blackberry clones, then why not the real deal? I know it's not WinMo, but they do the job just the same (even better on E-Mail).
Then there are all those "Slide out" models. Not the same, but you get a bigger screen and (IMO) better keyboard. Trust me, you will get used to the way the new machine does things, in a month or so, just like you got used to how the Blackjack did its thing
As you wrote in an other post, you are like me, a "Functions over looks" guy, which rules out the latest models from HTC, but you are looking at the Experia.......Why?
Just like the Touch models it has its own overlay to WinMo, giving you some thing else than the "Every thing at a glance" Today screen when you push the power button. That is one thing I would dislike, as I am quite pleased with the way WinMo is doing its thing on the front page.
Happy hunting.
