Re: WTF is Bing?? I want Google to search

My bad on the wrong forum I was using the TP2 on the ppcgeeks mobile forum, and forgot what section I was in.

Anyways, thanks for the help!

Re: WTF is Bing?? I want Google to search

To the OP: did this work for you on your Verizon TP2? The thread journeyman846 specifically refers to AT&T, and the final post at this time implies that it may not, or didn't work, for Verizon phones.

This is something I'd like to alter as well.

Re: WTF is Bing?? I want Google to search

I use bing all the time. The homescreen tracks my GPS and I can get directions to anywhere, maps, movie showtimes, gas prices and everything. I personally really like it. You should give it a try.

Don't listen to him, just blindly close bing out of the options for a search engine b/c they aren't google.

Actually bing is pretty good, and a microsoft service (probably part of the screw google campaign lol)

Re: WTF is Bing?? I want Google to search

Bing maps look cheesy. Google maps are much better, and have good definition. I do like Bing's movie/fuel/food by GPS location features..

Re: WTF is Bing?? I want Google to search

I think the Bird's Eye view with Bing is incredible! Blows Google Maps away. But as a whole the Google Maps apps is a bit more practical than using Bing on the phone.
