9 months later, the Trump cellphone nonetheless doesn’t exist

It’s been greater than a month since two Trump Mobile executives confirmed me what they claimed was the T1 Phone, and within the time since, there’s been… nothing. No information, no bulletins, no cellphone. And the corporate has gone again to ignoring my emails.

When I spoke to Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas in early February, I used to be advised that inside “the next couple of weeks” the Trump Mobile website can be up to date with a full spec sheet and imagery for the up to date model of the cellphone that I used to be proven over a video name. That was six weeks in the past, and the web site hasn’t modified a bit.

The pair additionally advised me that by mid-March they anticipated the gadget to have cleared its certification with T-Mobile, the final hurdle earlier than it might formally go on sale and begin transport to patrons. We’re stepping into late March now, so I emailed Hendrickson and Thomas to ask if that certification has been accomplished, and acquired no reply. I emailed T-Mobile too, which declined to remark.

The Trump Mobile executives wouldn’t decide to a March launch date after we spoke, so maybe this isn’t fairly as egregious as when the T1 cellphone missed its August, September, and December 2025 launches. Still, it’s now been greater than 9 months because the cellphone was introduced, by which time we’ve seen one dangerous render, two completely different spec sheets, and a blurry glimpse over Google Meet.

If the Trump cellphone is actual, it’s purported to arrive quickly. I stay unconvinced that it’s going to — however as somebody who’s dying to assessment it, I wish to imagine.
