But the point is that it doesn't work well for at least some, so for them it's not a "so so issue." It makes the Bing application essentially worthless for them, regardless of how many others are happy with it.
I've indicated before that I have the Stock 6.1 Verizon ROM, and also that it's not that the program itself crashes, freezes, or otherwise doesn't function. So I don't think it's likely to be a ROM issue.
The problem is that the results of the Search (Movies, Hotels, Restaurants) are extremely limited for some, rendering the application useless for us. The Microsoft representative in the thread I've linked to indicated that she has had similar reports from other users, so it is not an isolated phenomenon. The biggest frustration is that we had no problems with the earlier version of Bing, and Microsoft doesn't "let" us use it, and forces the upgrade.
My guess is that it might be a problem with certain geographic areas, but this is just a speculation. Hopefully they'll identify where the problem is occurring that gives some of us unacceptable search results.
Again, I'm genuinely glad that it works well for you and the others you mention. But there are those for whom it is useless, and that is the reason for this and other threads.

I understand, I wasn't tryna argue
just expressing the oddity that it works for some and not for others, even others that are on your same setup because that's what my cousins phone is stock vzw...

^^ That doesn't quite make sense to me... It works for my girlfriend and my TP2's on Sprint and another TP2 on VZW, so for it to not work on another VZW that is almost identical leaves the culprit in disguise... Like DLC pointed out, I think it could be a geographical issue perhaps, because us 3 all live in Florida although the 3rd tested TP2 was on the other coast of Florida...
