"Trump Mobile's CEO told USA Today that the phone will begin shipping to buyers this week. The announcement comes as reports have gone viral this week alleging that preorders for the phone have been canceled. Trump Mobile CEO Pat O'Brien confirmed the release plans to over email, telling the outlet that all preorders will be fulfilled within the next few weeks."
"O'Brien reportedly acknowledged the phone's numerous delays - it's now been 11 months since it was announced - though seemingly didn't offer any detailed explanation for why the phone has taken so long to launch. "Those delays were worth it in our minds as we are delivering an amazing product," he said."
"Alongside the release news, Trump Mobile provided USA Today with the first promotional video for the phone. It shows the redesigned handset, which appeared on the company's website last month, along with its packaging. It appears the phone will ship with a clear plastic case, a power brick, and a gold braided USB-C cable."
"While the imminent release comes as a slight surprise, it's not a total one. The phone has recently been certified by both the FCC and PTCRB, and The Verge can also reveal that last week it was added to Google's public list of devices certified for Google Play, usually one of the final steps before an Android phone is launched."
