Like the translucent (still corded, so not that hi-tech) phone with the bright colors for all the components? I had one of those! I think the outer part of my cord was actually clear, too.

Ooh, and that dope clear pager was hella rad!

On that note, remember payphones?? (getting paged by my mom and having to find a payphone to call the family 800# and check in...)

Wait, family 800 #? I don't remember that. We skipped pagers though, so I remember them being a thing, but I only saw them on TV, don't think I ever saw one in person besides on doctors at a hospital.

You should take a look at the Nothing Phone if you still dig that aesthetic.
