I can't buy the Edge 40 Pro and now I wish Motorola was an iPhone alternative

Motorola V600 flip phone on top of iPhone 14 Pro and Galaxy S23 Ultra

Motorola taunts me; it taunts all of the US. Friends at Moto sent me word of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, just to let me know I can’t buy one. It’s coming to Europe; it’s coming to Latin America. No US plans. I used to covet Motorola phones. I owned a couple. Now I just read about them on my iPhone 14 Pro and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Motorola was a flagship brand and a crafty competitor. I wish it would remember its roots and offer us a decent iPhone alternative. 

My first cool cell phone was a Motorola V600, a flip phone from before the days of the Motorola RAZR. I still have it, with its thick leather holster from 2003. Mercedes offered this phone as a car accessory. Back in the day, this was a very cool flip phone, one of the best phones I’ve owned.
