    Why spoil something that works perfectly well. I would love to change my own but wont. I cant take the chance that things may feel different than before and wont ever be the same should it all go wrong. Slide, feel, tactile use etc. Better the devil you know in my opinion, at least where nokia build quality is concerned. Oh and when is your mymobilesite online?

    @Dani2xll – I’ve been swapping phones too much lately, and haven’t installed the MobileWebServer on my latest. I’ll take care of that today. :)

    Well, if you do it yourself you could at least perfectly merge it with the existing camo theme. Cool idea if the cover fits well.

    Why not start by going all out and finding some hardware geek online to swap your N95′s 1900mhz US 3G GSM radio chip with your N82′s Euro 2100mhz 3G one.

    Just imagine a Camo N82 with US 3G!

    I’d love to see that. I’m considering changeing mine too. Actually matted black, not camo but I want to have the sidekeys colored too without overcoloring the light icons and I haven’t come up with a way to do that yet.

    Camo would be cool if you can make it water and shockproof also. Then it would live up to the expectations of that theme. :) Meanwhile I think it’s kind of lame idea. Like putting a camo paint on Lamborgini…

    But don’t hesitate to do it if you want it! :)

    Me myself, bought an total black cover for my N95 (before I gave it to my little brother).

    The quality of the cover and buttons was far less better than the original sand cover and the provided buttons by nokia.

    The one thing that I never managed to unscrew was the slider mechanism as well as to get out the speaker at the bottom cover.

    I therefore ended up with a N95 with black display, back and top cover and black s60 key and keypad while the slider mechanism and the bottom cover was the same as the original silver.

    I followed the instructions from the service manual for N95 but had not all the right tools.

    But without a doubt a N95 with camo would be awsome.

    I only got one thing to say. Keep it going.
