I remember I had bought this 2 tone original skin.. Nokia - Aug - used it for 2 years. One of my favorites. Spoilt the touchscreen trying to clean the edges. Used for less than 2 months. O2 Mini - Oct - Used it for about a year then passed it on to my Dad as he wanted a smaller version of the iMate which he was using then.
O2 Atom - Sep onwards. I don't use many of the extra features over the Mini - but the camera is real crisp and weight is about half.
