Samsung and the Financial Times have recently launched a pretty interesting competition that offers participants the chance to win a trip to Sammy’s headquarters in South Korea, and a brand new Samsung Jet phone.

Unlike many other competitions, this one is open to anyone who is over the age of 18, regardless of his or her country.

To enter the competition, you must write a short paragraph (of 200 to 300 words) about “the key features of the phone of the future”.

You can send the paragraph alongside your name and contact details by e-mail, to digitalbusiness@ft.com (with “FT-Samsung Competition” in the subject field), or by post – to FT-Samsung Competition, Digital Business, Financial Times, One Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HL.

The first prize consists of a Samsung Jet phone plus a 4-day trip to Seoul, South Korea – including a visit to Samsung’s headquarters and 4 nights accommodation in a 4 star hotel. There are also two runner-up prizes: a Samsung Jet each.

Unfortunately, the entries must be received before Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 5PM GMT (that’s tomorrow), so you’ll have to hurry if you want to participate.

The Terms & Conditions of the competition can be found on Financial Times’ website.

Samsung has already offered up plenty of press shots of its new NX Series “hybrid” camera, but we’re guessing most folks are still a bit more interested in some up-close, unpolished shots of the not-quite-compact, even if it is being kept just out of the reach of the teeming masses at PMA. In case this one slipped past your radar, the big news here is the camera’s use of an APS-C sized image sensor, which is normally only found on full-size DSLRs, and should result in some better than usual shots from a camera this size. Better still, that means you’ll also still be able to attach at least a few different lenses to the camera, which you can catch a glimpse of by hitting up the links below.

We’ve been keeping our eyes peeled for the snappy, handsome Samsung TL320 ever since we first spied it. Well, now it’s on hand at PMA 2009, and the fine folks at Pocket-Lint have gotten some time alone with the 12.2 megapixel digicam, and we have to say — it’s looking pretty sweet. If you’d forgotten, this baby boasts 5x optical zoom, a 3-inch HVGA AMOLED display, 720p video recording, an HDMI output, dual image stabilization, plus some really awesome twin analog gauges for checking out memory capacity and battery life. The TL320 is expected to be available in May of this year for about $380. Check out another shot after the break, and hit the read link for a full set.

We’ve seen some interesting looking shooters from Samsung before, but nothing quite like this latest charmer, a 12 megapixel mystery model that’s just appeared on Amazon’s site. It features a 5x stabilized zoom lens on the front, which is nice and all, but the real bits of intrigue are elsewhere. Beaming back at ya will be a 3-inch OLED screen, a rarity for a digi cam, but it’s also got a pair of those analog gauges we loved on the NV9 on top that show battery life and remaining storage. Sadly, other than Amazon saying it’ll sell for a penny under $330 we don’t know a thing about it’s availability, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for it and its dashing red arrows.
