Verizon announces another Android phone

New Motorola Android phone on Verizon: the Devour

NEW YORK (AP) - Verizon Wireless says the Devour will be its second phone from Motorola to use Google's Android software.

Much like the Motorola Droid, which debuted to much fanfare in November, the Devour has a touch screen that slides away to reveal a keyboard. The screen is slightly smaller, however. Verizon says the phone will be on sale in March, but it hasn't revealed the cost.

Verizon Wireless has positioned Android phones as its main alternative to AT&T Inc.'s exclusive iPhone. Motorola, for its part, sees Android-powered smart phones as the way out of a deep multiyear sales slump.
