Lomo cameras are cheap and cheerful, but they have to look it – especially if you go for the Lomography Chrome Edition cameras.

The range offers four of Lomo’s biggest selling cameras – the Fisheye number 2, Colorsplash, Diana F+ and SuperSampler – with a chrome cladding to add some bling to your bag. And what’s more, they’re limited edition – so you could have something worth a few quid in years to come.

Prices start at around £50 for the cameras or you can buy the whole set for £219. if you want to know more about each film-based camera, see the website

We don’t feature many mobiles phones on here – to be honest, not many have a retro angle. That’s not the case with the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Edition mobile phone.

Yes, this special edition is a tribute to everyone’s favourite martial arts movie star, packing that super-cool Bruce Lee doll (complete with Onitsuka Tiger trainers), a phone featuring Bruce’s face and signature on the case, a set of rare photos and accessories including a Bruce Lee strap and decorative nunchakus.

Ok, here’s the bad news. So far it’s only been released on Hong Kong, via the local Nokia website. If you don’t fancy risking that, I suspect eBay will be full of them in a matter of weeks. It’s priced at the equivalent of a whopping £871.

For music aficionados, you can’t beat a vintage-style valve audio system – and the Logic3 Valve80 offers it up on an affordable, iPod-friendly unit.

It’s not a bad looker either, with a metallic stand and those glass valves nestling up to your iPod or iPhone – and you can use it with a CD player or vinyl decks too, with up to 80w of ‘warm’ valve-based audio produced through the matching speakers.

Available from December, it sells for £299.

It’s always good to see a bit of leather on a radio – and Pure doesn’t disappoint with the Pure Evoke Mio.

Not just leather, there’s even a bit of suede (effect) thrown in too, with a colourful finish only adding to the overall retro effect. As a radio, it’s not bad either – DAB and FM reception, an OLED display for your info, 30 presets, an alarm, timer, connectivity for your iPod and a whopping 24 hours of battery life per charge.

Available before Christmas, it sells for £149.99.
