Title: Motorola has mysteriously delayed its new Razr phones, but only for
some carriers

The latest generation of Motorola Razr smartphones was slated to go on sale
last week beginning May 15, but availability has been delayed for purchases
through select carriers. 9to5Google reported that the launch was delayed to
May 22 for Verizon, Straight Talk, Total Wireless and Visible. We've reached
out to Motorola for additional comment on the situation.

When a potential customer asked on X about availability after the phones were
not seen at the expected May 15 date, a Verizon rep replied that the launch
was "placed on hold." The Verizon blog post announcing the plans and pricing
for the Razr models has been updated to show a May 22 release date.

Razr phones are still listed as available to buy at other mobile carriers.
However some customers have taken to Reddit, sharing that their orders have
been delayed and speculating as to why. Most of them did not specify which
channels or carriers they used for the purchases, so it's possible that all
of the issues are centered on the four carriers mentioned in Motorola's
statement, although there are posts claiming their phones' new ship date will
be May 28.
