Tried searching for movies. It doesn't show theaters, only movies. I used to be able to select my theater, and then see what was playing. Now it shows only movie results, and they're all from 60 miles away instead of my local theater.

too bad, I used to use Bing all the time. I didn't even install google maps when I flashed to MR2. Guess I'll have to install it now.
Exactly! And thanks for posting this on the Microsoft forum as well.

If Microsoft has any sense () they'll do something about this; but I'm not holding my breath.

I like Google Maps in general, but it doesn't enable me to see Movies playing at a Theater; it lists the Theaters ok, and provides a link to the website for that theater company, but this is too slow and cumbersome to be useful, for me at least.

Fandango has apps for Android, iPhone, Blackberry, and even Palm Pre (!), but nothing for Windows Mobile

At this rate, my next phone will not be Microsoft/Windows Mobile...
