Trump Mobile has started shipping its delayed T1 smartphones to customers, months after the device was originally expected to launch.
The gold-colored device was originally expected to release in August last year, but was first delayed to October and then postponed again until now. The service was launched by the Trump Organization under a licensing agreement.
According to reports, CEO Pat O’Brien said the extra time was used to complete development and testing to ensure the phone met quality standards.
