Finally, the new theme has come although a bit later than expected. It's retro. Here's what pichlo and chenliangchen have come up with:

"March's new theme will be "retro". Retro derives from the Latin prefix retro, meaning "backwards, or in past times". It could be anything which is part of your memory, as well as "retro style" - new things that display characteristics of the past.
If it sounds rather vague then that is deliberate, to give the competitors a bit of freedom. Anything goes, as long as it is or looks "retro"."

The rules:
Photos must be taken during this month
Photos must be taken by the posting member
Photos must be taken with a camera phone
Users post only one photo per entry
Users can change the entry only once
Users must name the phone they used
(so I could include it for voting and such)
Last three days of this month are for voting

Oh, just a few days ago a local national croatian television started emitting a new show called Crno-bijeli svijet. (Black and White world, it's from an older famous song by Prljavo Kazalište)
It goes back to the 80's and it's really a great insight in to what my parents were doing thirty years ago as they were growing up.
Many teenagers haven't even heard about gramophone records or cassette decks and I'm glad that we are having a resurgence in the former.
It's cool to go back to your roots but vinyl was always around and it will stick around for a long time I think and you don't need the internet for that.

Jesus HtheB, you could start a museum right now!
And this collection of 600 old cameras would be really great for a camera museum.

Love the classic n900 between the Atari Lynx devices.
Really brings back memories
