I had posted about these nesting dolls that were modeled after different stages in the development of the cell phone:

Evolving Cell Phone Nesting Dolls

On The Chive I saw this picture showing the stages of various cell phone brands, along with the corresponding changes to the designs of toy phones!

After all, toys can be aids for helping kids role-play, to figure out how to be adults & use grown-up things.
