No, not the university. Ever hear of Princeton Technology? Yeah, me neither. We had spotted a compact USB Bluetooth adapter from them awhile back, but it turns out they do phones too, although they look primarily geared towards the Asian market. We just got word of a new model (PTCD 801) on the way packing two SIM card slots like many of their other handsets, but can also record TV as you’re watching it. Specs include…

-Network: Quadband GSM 800/900/1800/1900
-Dual SIM, dual standby
-2.6 inch touchscreen, handwriting support
-Free analog TV, record at the same time
-Dual camera, web camera, DV function
-Accelerometer
-Bluetooth 2.0
-FM radio
-MP3/MP4 Player
-Can use Nokia BL-5C batteries, 3.5MM standard headphone jack
-Mini USB Cable Port
-Language: English/French/Spanish/Portugese/Italian/German/Turkish/Arabic/Persian/Polish/Russian etc.

No info on carrier or release date, but suppliers are pimping it out, so a release should be soon.
