Trump Mobile has begun shipping its $499 T1 smartphones to customers following a nine-month delay from its original August release. The venture, launched by the Trump Organization under a trademark license, faced multiple setbacks while attempting to manufacture the device in the United States. The mobile service offers plans priced at $47.45, referencing Donald Trump's presidencies as the 45th and 47th president.
### Development Hurdles and Hardware Specs The gold-colored T1 features a 6.78-inch display and a processor from Qualcomm Inc.
