The T1 Phone no longer requires a $100 deposit — but the company still hasn’t shipped our preorders.

Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. We still don’t have the phones we preordered yet, but this week the T1 hit open sale, no deposit required.
Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone is now available for anyone to buy directly. The phone has previously trickled out to a small number of preorder customers — though The Verge is still waiting for both of its handsets — but now you can claim your own without having to place a $100 deposit.
Android Authority spotted the change to the Trump Mobile website, which now lets you pay $499 directly for the phone, rather than paying $100 first. In true Trump Mobile fashion, they’ve half-assed the website update: One page on the site still says you can “join the waitlist” for the phone, while the homepage encourages you to “get in line now,” and still mentions the now-deprecated $100 deposit.
