I’m calling it, it won’t come out. I just doubt it will happen.
If it does, it’s a rebranded phone wrapped in fake gold leaf, like the Pablo Escobar phone. https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-phone-from-pablo-escobars-brother-is-just-a-galaxy-fold-covered-in
Don’t miss the fine print.
*phones not made in the USA
Came here to say this and that there is a good Free software phone that is: https://puri.sm/
Did anyone read the TOS and such? Holy shit! So many red flags.
Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.
Now I’m in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don’t remember what my plan is but it’s something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.
Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.
Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.
Not really. I’m on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).
If it’s a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they’re talking about a $500 phone instead of “free with plan,” I’m assuming it’s prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.
Edit: okay, read the article and it’s prepaid. It’s not a good value and is easily beat my several existing services.
Why do we need celebrity owned cell carriers? This article makes it sound like a bad thing Ryan Reynolds’s exited Mint, but at least the stars of arrested development still have a cell provider.
I mean WTF, I like that there is competition but what the fuck is wrong with us that we prefer celebrity endorsement to actual features, value, longevity, etc.
I know it’s a bigger question than what I’m asking but this is all part of the rot that our economy is experiencing. All vibes, all promises, all scams, this country runs on nothing but grift.
I know a maga grandma that will probably buy into this.
The Trump-branded T1 Phone will apparently be made in America.
I laughed so hard I peed myself
Thank you for this gif
“It’s all computer”
That’s going to have a wider back door than an onlyfans model.
I can’t wait to see those people buy them and then complain about them.
Is this
Phone service under the direct control of the President of the United States of America 🦋
Small government?
small government
I think they want to aerosolize it. I swear you can’t understand the ruling class without reading ‘snow crash’.
And is this “small government” in the room with us right now?
[Glances nervously at devices]
Yes. Soon it will be small enough to fit inside your blood.
Make gold gross again.
Biometals are way cooler anyways. Copper? Zinc? Cobalt? Molybdenum? Iron? Tin? Manganese?
All these are essential to our life and provide actual use compared to the utter lifeless and obsolete gold that only serves greed among the ghouls chasing it.
Gold is useful! It’s unreactive and conducts electricity really well. Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.
Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.
And afterwards you can literally shit gold!
Looking at the webpage, it’s obviously a 100% Chinese product licensing the Trump name.
There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor, RAM that’s described as storage, and the boast of a “5000mAh long life camera,” when it presumably means the battery.
If you ever thought the Trumps weren’t grifters, this should clear it up:
“Trump Mobile is going to revolutionize cellphones, mobile calling,” Eric Trump told Fox News
There’s absolutely nothing revolutionary here. It’s a cheap Chinese phone in a tacky case and an overpriced very-not-new MVNO phone service.
I’m other words, it’s just another example of how not to do business that all the rubes will throw money at.
Awesome.
That’s all he’s ever done. License his name. Trump steaks. Trump water. Trump University. List goes on
It’s stunning how these people can say this stupid shit with a straight face. 😂
Eeeewww! I have never seen anything tackier in my entire life, and I’m Balkan!
