    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. 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.

    Honestly the most shocking thing about it.

      They do, just don’t release phones in the States anymore. It’s a shame because I really liked their phones.

        “In May 2019, then-United States President Donald Trump announced that HUAWEI and several other Chinese companies were now on the “Entity List.” Companies on this list cannot do business with any organization that operates in the United States.”

        Oh good golly it’s going to be a wonderful day today!

        Edit: as ahornsirup pointed out, this isn’t really relevant. I got crossed up searching HTC with Huawei somewhere along the line.

              Facepalm

              Wow, my google-fu failed me pretty spectacularly. I was searching the HTC ban for patent infringement from Apple and at some point crossed with Huawei.

              Though having said that, hey Apple, does that camera protrusion look familiar? Ask your lawyers!
