"Almost exactly a month ago, I wrote an article for theverge.com pointing out that the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version) - a.k.a. the Trump phone - had missed its promised release date. Now here I am again, because the phone still hasn't come out. In case you've forgotten, the T1 is a very gold mid-range Android phone that was announced in June alongside a $47 Trump Mobile wireless plan."
"It's now the end of October, and Trump Mobile has gone suspiciously quiet - it hasn't even posted on social media since August 28th, shortly after it tweeted (and deleted) a badly edited image of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, passing it off as the T1. In fairness, for months now, the store page has only promised an arrival "later this year," a change made at the same time Trump Mobile stopped claiming the T1 would be made in America."
"Trump Mobile never responded to my request last month for an update on the phone's release date, and it hasn't replied to my latest email either. People of lesser faith might worry that this phone is no more than vaporware, but I refuse to give up. Place your bets now on whether I'll be back here in another month's time, still asking: where is the Trump phone?"
The T1 Phone 8002 (gold version), the Trump phone, remains unreleased after multiple missed launch dates. The very gold mid-range Android was announced in June alongside a $47 Trump Mobile wireless plan. The Trump Organization initially promised an August launch, the website later said September, and an unnamed spokesperson pushed the date to October. At the end of October, Trump Mobile has been quiet on social media since August 28th, after tweeting and deleting a badly edited Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra image passed off as the T1. The store page now promises arrival 'later this year' and no longer claims US manufacturing. Trump Mobile did not respond to update requests, raising vaporware concerns.
