I can’t find Trump’s phone at America’s largest technology show


CES isn’t a big smartphone show, but there are more new phones than I expected. Samsung gave us our first hands-on look at Galaxy Z Tri-FoldMotorola launched its first book model Razr Foldphone keyboard company Clicks has unveiled a BlackBerry-esque Android phone communication.

But there’s one upcoming phone we haven’t seen: the T1 8002 (Gold Edition)The phone “designed with American values ​​in mind” was not present at the largest technology exhibition in the United States.

I searched for the Trump Mobile in the various convention centers and hotel suites in Las Vegas that make up the expanse of CES. Trump Mobile did not hold a press conference or contact him Edge To hold any meetings at Trump Tower. A search for “Trump” in the CES exhibitor database turns up no results at all — and it’s the same story for Liberty Mobile, the MVNO that Trump Mobile is on the back To provide its network.

It’s really no surprise that Trump Mobile isn’t here, of course, or that it doesn’t want to show off its phone. Phone T1 now Five months late For its initial release in August, with no official announcement from the company about the reason for the delay of the phone or when it is actually expected to be released.

But for a phone company so proud of its American values, remember there are still “American hands behind every device,” even if it’s a T1 It no longer claims to be made in the USA – Maybe you were expecting to participate in the country’s premier technology event. CES is the largest dedicated technology conference held in the United States More than 142,000 attendees at last year’s showThe organization is the Consumer Technology Association, the trade organization representing the technology industry in the United States.

Trump Mobile certainly isn’t too small to be showing at CES, with large sections of the show dedicated to small businesses and startups — in smartphones alone, privacy-focused brands like Clicks and Hiroh showed off their wares in Vegas this week, so the show isn’t limited to industry giants like Motorola and Samsung. Although small booths at an official show can cost tens of thousands, there are cheaper ways to display, including pre-show events like Showstoppers or Pepcom, and even the option to book a hotel suite for the night and invite journalists and other attendees to see your products there.

The question is: Has Trump Mobile decided it won’t get enough value from appearing at CES? Or does he simply not have a phone to show off?

As always, Trump Mobile did not respond to my request for comment.
