The Trump Phone Is Already a Lot Different From Last Week

Apparently things change quickly in the world of Trump phone. It has been 10 days since the Trump organization announced that it would launch the T1 smartphone of $ 499, and at that time, there was already a confusing series of changes to a product which was initially supposed to arrive in August.

Now you cannot expect “later this year”, according to the last update of the Mobile Trump websiteWith any mention of it “to come soon” disappeared. This is not the only change. The main details of the phone also seem to be somewhat transient, so much so that at the moment, it is a mystery as to what would happen exactly at your door if you expected your pre -order $ 100 today.

The most notable change is the pivot not entirely inspired by a phone which, according to the press release, would be “designed and built in the United States” to the one who “brought” in the United States, with “American values ​​in mind” and with “American hands behind each device”. As it is ideally vague.

Eric Trump had already tried to resume American manufacturing complaints during the interviews on the first day of the announcement, declaring that it was simply ambitious – something that could happen “possibly”. It now seems that the website has conceded that too – even if a Trump Mobile customer service has doubled the initial complaint, saying to Nired “We do not yet have the manufacturer’s name, but they will be manufactured here in America”.

The real telephone specifications have also been mysteriously modified, almost As if the phone that had been announced was more a list of features rather than a locked production model. The T1 no longer has a 6.78 inch screen, but which measures 6.25 inches, and there is no more promise of 12 GB of RAM, or any mention.

There have also been essential technical corrections – it has no “long -term camera of 5000 mAh” but a “5000 mAh battery”, and the T1 received the correct legal counter, going from a “SM” service to a brand “TM”. Fortunately, the strange promise of “front cameras” has now been qualified as the only “front camera”.

And it’s not just the phone itself that has seen changes. The Trump Mobile wireless service coverage has been fully extracted from the site and now 404s. As Wired pointed out, the card now Vanie had been borrowed from a cellular service provider called Ultra Mobile and referred to the Gulf of Mexico rather than the favorite nomenclature of “Gulf of America” ​​by Donald Trump.

The relatively cheap price of $ 499 of the smartphone has been clarified as requiring a current subscription to Trump Mobile. (“You acknowledge that you will be billed $ 100 today for your first month of mobile service and shipping and activation of Trump. You also allow a load of $ 399 Plus the sales tax to be collected when your T1 phone is shipped.”) And there have been additional responsibility protections added in the legal foot, especially around third -party services.

For the moment, the T1 smartphone seems to be a work in progress. That it has never been pre -orders – and in what final form it materializes, if it does – it remains to be seen. We had questions last week. If anything, we have even more now.
