That's a real nice collection of phones you have there.

I don't remember ever seeing MTS offer that colour here in Manitoba when they were renting sets.

I do have a question though, does anyone make coloured telephones anymore? I remember back in the 70's seeing all sorts of colours in my friends parents houses that matched their decor.

All I see now are ash, ivory and black for desk and wall phones. Red I know is still available for emergency phones.

Even the decorator lines like the Nortel Contempra have gone away.

I know that system deregulation here in Canada and the US hurt Nortel and Western Electric to the point they got out of production, but I thought somebody would have taken up the slack for unique residential sets.

Everybody can't want the $10 offshore special from Wal-Mart can they?
