https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-phone-is-nowhere-to-be-seen-3-months-after-release-date/Three months after its promised release date, President Donald Trumps patriotic T1 smartphone is nowhere to be seen.
The project, first announced by the presidents sons Don Jr. and Eric in June at a flashy ceremony in Trump Tower, was intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Trumps first presidential campaign.
Pitched as a made-in-the-USA device powered by a new wireless service called Trump Mobile, the gold-plated, American flag-branded smartphone (which looks suspiciously like a Samsung S25) was the latest in a string of tacky branded merchandise pushed by the administration following Trumps return to power this year.

Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its âMade in the USAâ promise.

The phone was announced on the 10th anniversary of Trumps presidential campaign launch and was the Trump brands first foray into mobile products and services. According to the initial announcement, the phone was supposed to be released in August.
But three months later, there are no signs that the phone has become a reality.
NBC News placed an order for a T1 phone in August, paying the $100 deposit for the purposes of tracking the $499 phones development.
After confirming with the credit card company that the transaction was not fraudulent, NBC News received a confirmation email verifying the order.
But the company provided no proactive updates after the order. NBC News made five separate phone calls to the Trump Mobile customer support line between September and November. At one point in October, the call operator promised a specific ship date: Nov. 13.

At the rollout, the public was told to expect everything to be in place by the end of the year. As November nears its end, what happened? NBC News reported:

In October, NBC News was told to expect a Nov. 13 ship date. When that date came and went, an operator at the call center said to expect delivery in the beginning of December. (The same operator blamed delays on the government shutdown, which didnt appear to make any sense.)
Making matters worse, the Trump Mobile website has gone through a series of edits, including the elimination of release dates and Made in the USA assurances.
