Motorola has announced that it is delaying the launch of the new Razr - an updated version of its 2005 hit clamshell phone which boasts a vertical folding screen.

Parent company Lenovo blamed the Razr's popularity, saying that demand had outstripped supply.

But it's yet another example of a folding phone with teething problems.
