The first unit of Nokia E90 Communicator sold in an auction today in Jakarta, Indonesia. A businessman, Hartono Gunawan, won the auction by offering the amount of Rp45,000,000 (US$5,000) and got "the first E90 sold in the world".

This phone will launch globally next month.

The commercial E90 offers EDGE/UMTS, WLAN, HSDPA, GPS, Bluetooth and Infrared connectivity.

Two executives of Nokia Finland, Jouni Polonen, Product Program Manager Enterprise Solution and Mika Savolainen, Product Manager, Enterprise Solution, attended the-called Indonesia's Nokia Communicator Community Gathering in Ritz Carlton Hotel, Jakarta.

More than 1,000 Communicator users attended the gathering.

According to Nokia Indonesia general manager, Hasan Aula, the money got from the auction will donate as charity to UNICEF.

Hasan said, in the recent decade, Nokia has always chosen Jakarta as the first city to launch each Communicator series globally. "E90 Communicator will also launch here next month for the first time," he told SlashPhone.

The historical journey of the Nokia Communicator began in September 1996 with the launch of the first Nokia Communicator --the Nokia Communicator 9000-- which had also resulted in the conception of a community of loyal Nokia Communicator users that are known today as the Communicator Community.

Today, the Communicator Community boasts a membership of more than 30,000 and still continues to grow.
