Trump Mobile touts an ‘Ultra’ version of the phone you still don’t have yet

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• A Trump Mobile executive teased a higher-end “T1 Ultra” in a November interview.
• That’s despite no one who ordered the original Trump phone having received it yet.
• The executive claims that customers are “eager to buy into” the successor.

My colleague C. Scott Brown put down his $100 deposit for the Trump phone seven months ago, and it still hasn’t turned up. At least he ordered it for professional reasons (I think), but no one who excitedly pre-ordered the T1 phone has seen any sign of it yet. That hasn’t stopped Trump Mobile from thinking about what comes next. According to a company executive, a higher-end “T1 Ultra” may also be in the works.

The Verge spotted a largely overlooked interview from November with Trump Mobile executive Don Hendrickson. Speaking to Wireless Dealer Magazine at the time, Hendrickson teased a second phone before the first one had made it into customers’ hands.
