What is the collective for phone?

Cell phones are recent enough that a specific collective noun has not come into common use. When there is no collective noun, a noun that suits the circumstances is used. If it becomes used regularly and commonly, it eventually becomes 'the collective noun'.Since the industry is bent on customers constantly upgrading, a person may have a series of cell phones; a person may have a number of cell phones for different purposes, a variety of cell phones; an electronics department would have a selection of cell phones.Contributors have offered 'an exchange of cell phones', 'a ring of cell phones, and 'an annoyance of cell phones', and I would throw in 'a one upsmanship of cell phones'.A collective noun becomes a collective noun when it becomes the most commonly used term for something.
