Motorola claims its Droid phone is selling extremely well, and that they're having trouble to meet demand due to supply chain issues.

Motorola Inc is seeing strong demand for its Droid phone at Verizon Wireless despite the popularity of rival HTC Corp's Droid Incredible, co-Chief Executive Sanjay Jha said on Wednesday.

Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc, said last month it was having a hard time keeping up with supply of the Droid Incredible because of a shortage of screens from Samsung Electronics.

"(Droid) sales are going extremely well. If I could build more I'd sell more," Jha said without discussing which components were in short supply.
