I am genuinely surprised... I didn't know HTC even still existed

Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.

lol

Honestly I am just shocked that a physical phone exists at all.

So it's a recoloured 2024 phone from China with a slightly larger battery from the Philippines that can't charge as fast.

Fake, cheap, and plastic with a huge price tag. What a perfect representation of the United States.

And say what you will about the T1, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Trump Mobile aren’t gouging their fanbase…not yet anyway.

Honestly the most shocking thing about it.

NGL, I expected worse.

Still wouldn't buy it on a fucking dare, but I was expecting at least a 10 year old phone, not a 2 year old one.

The validity of the “Assembled in the USA” markings aside, the big question for many is why can’t a smartphone be made in the US? Again, there are lots of reasons but the big ones are the absence of the necessary manufacturing base, the lack of expertise in the labour pool, and cost. Bringing any part of the production line to the US, even the simpler non-electronic components like the chassis and the back cover, would put upward pressure on the price of the final product.

Holy shit!

...HTC still makes phones?

Did people genuinely think they had created a bespoke bit of hardware? Wow.

I'm surprised it's a gold painted HTC phone from two years ago (good quality even if probably HTC had a warehouse full of unsold inventory that they were happy to repaint at huge discount) and not the cheapest shit that you can find on Alibaba with a soc from a decade ago and the ROM already preloaded with malware.

Everything time I hear about this phone, it just gets better and better.

I am surprised it is actually a clone of something people have heard of. I was expecting something on the level of what you can get for $50 at Walmart.

Be prepared to see the return of the hip-mounted phone-holster.

It will certainly be placed next to the open-carry holster.

Also has the wrong number of stripes on the flag.

What, anyone actually expected Drumpf to put in any effort? 🤣

Made in China?

Laughing and banging the table.

Is it painted the same shade he uses on his face?

I'm shocked that it's real.

wait. it's a real functioning phone?

Painted? So not even as gold as the wrappers of chocolate coins?

Color me flabbergasted.

Trump always find a way to scam his supporters

LOL $460 and two years old.

I love it when conservatives get fleeced, but not when their money goes to felon rapist pedophiles that use it to harm America.
