Trump Mobile says its T1 mobile phone will ship this week, according to reporting from CBS News and CNET. The phone, sold under a $499 price point and described as a gold-toned model in CBS News coverage, has experienced repeated setbacks since it was unveiled in June 2025. CBS News notes that the device has faced delays from the time of its unveiling, while CNET reports that the T1 was initially expected to launch last August. Both outlets characterize the current moment as a delayed rollout finally approaching shipment. The companies’ earlier timelines did not materialize, and the phone’s release is now framed as a delayed launch moving into the fulfillment stage. While details about retailers, shipping schedules, or software readiness are not included in the provided summaries, the common point across the sources is that the T1 is now slated to begin shipping during the current week following months of postponed launch plans.
