Surprised it doesn’t have a swastika on it
TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 2 days ago
Trump like a mob boss keeps the “heat” away from him as much as possible. He’ll let his cult army march around with their swastikas, and if asked “knows nothing about it”. And he’ll turn around and instruct the same people he doesn’t know anything about to “stand back and stand by”.

At least this will make it easier to identify douchebags
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Easier than spotting the Cybertrucks?

Depends on which one breaks faster

Bets its not made in America? lol
nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 days ago
100% guaranteed. The US does not have the manufacturing infrastructure for such products as a result of half a century of off-shoring to avoid organized labor.

I’ll bet every dollar I have. Literally no one makes phones in America. It would take a giant company like Apple or Google billions of dollars and a decade of construction and education/recruiting, then they’d have to sell them for a competitive price out of the kindness of their hearts, because there’s no financial motivation.

Absolutely gonna be “made in America” in that the application of the gold decal to the cheap Chinese handset will be done in America.

It’s going to be utter shite
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Never gonna happen. Its a grift. See how you have to give them 100 dollars down now, get phone at later date,( to be announced) It’s a scam. Says phones are made in America. We don’t make phones here and all experts say it would take years to do so if we tried.

Oh for sure. If it does actually exiat though, it’s definitely gonna be a $40 Chinese whitelabel model.

Please, please, please, let everyone using it have the area code 666…
Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
The Kushners went into billions in debt (paid off by Saudis) just to keep ownership of 666 5th Avenue in New York. They might be proud of that.

Please God let some bug at the carrier level incessantly provision these T1s to a max of 1.5mbps because that would be so fucking funny.

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.

Can’t wait to see the Truth Social bloatware. Also, do you think the applucatiin marketplace will be called the TrAPP Store?

The article is pretty junk. What’s the plan offer?
Euphorazine@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Looks like standard MVNO offerings (mint, boost, cricket, fi). $47+tax for talk, text, and data. Though it does look more expensive than others.

Feels like the Escobar phone
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s definitely going to be the Escobar Phone all over again. Anyone who accidentally receives one will get a foil-wrapped $150 Huawei handset with a preinstalled background image.
zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
Huawei? I think you’re giving them too much credit, haha. I’d guess it’s likely to be some unknown, no-name garbage, like you’d get from Wish or Ali-Express (or similar) for dirt cheap.
