Did You Have One of These Clear, Light-Up Phones Too?
Remember this? I absolutely had one of these in my teenage bedroom, it lit up when you received a phone call and just looked generally awesome.

The Clear Trimline Phone sells for $28 and has all the features you loved about your first clear phone - yes, it lights up when it rings!
I suppose the only downside to this phone is that it's pretty much destined to remain in the vintage geek time capsule forever. . .or at least until landlines fall back into style.
