The Trump T1 Phone Starts Shipping This Week, Supposedly

Dominic Preston, at The Verge:

Trump Mobile CEO Pat O’Brien first confirmed the release plans to USA Today, telling the outlet that all preorders will be fulfilled within the next few weeks. The company later confirmed the news on its social media accounts, using a very normal number of exclamation marks in the process.

The T1 Phone has arrived!! Those who pre-ordered the T1 Phone will be receiving an update email. Phones start shipping this week!!!

In a press release the company added that demand for the phone had been “incredibly high,” and that “orders are being fulfilled as quickly as possible.” That means that for early buyers, the long wait may nearly be over: it’s now been 11 months since the T1 Phone was announced.

The “Trump Mobile” indicia in the camera plateau is, of course, set in Arial.

The president, I’m sure, will soon switch to one of these from his iPhone.
