Doesn't it just wreck your evening when you realise that your boring, grey mobile phone clashes with your Little Black Dress? All those people at the party pointing and laughing at you so cruelly? Think of the shame then you have to re-live the nightmare when it appears in Isabella's Social Diary. If you're a man, the problem is even worse; the dull mobile phone can clash with either their tuxedo or your black bowtie.

But now you can say goodbye to that colour-clash misery forever, with the new Nokia 5110. Don't like the colour of your mobile? Why, just press the slot at the back, and switch the entire front half of the phone. Go for Gecko green, take Tango orange, stick to Shark silver or not!

Nokia itself offers 12 different colours, and has lined up subcontracting painters who can do any shade or design you choose. Perhaps a business logo? Or the Dublin colours for when the team wins the all-Ireland?

The Nokia 5110, for around £65 with a first-time connection or an upgrade, is available in most mobile phone shops.
