Im not sure about that. But my speculation leans on...The fact they already had phones at the CES show on January 10th. They also stated the phones were being tested and vetted at the time as well. This say the phones were already built. Notice the date of the picture. (requires you to click the link)

Q: When will you have the first phone ready?

A: Two-part answer: we expect the phones to be available for purchase through retail channels in mid-late 2018; the first units are currently being tested/vetted.
