[Trump Mobile under the Trump Organization delays the release of its gold smartphone originally scheduled for this year] Odaily Planet Daily News: Trump Mobile, the smartphone company launched by the Trump Organization, has delayed its plan to ship the gold smartphone originally scheduled for the end of this year. The company initially promised to release a U.S.-made smartphone priced at $499 this year to compete with mainstream devices like Apple and Samsung, but has since lowered its target. Trump Mobile's customer service team stated that the previous U.S. government shutdown caused delays in the phone's delivery. The team added that it is 'highly unlikely' the device will be shipped this month. The "T1" device, announced in June this year, along with a $47.45 monthly phone plan, is one of several initiatives launched by the Trump family business as part of leveraging his return to the White House.
