Glad it's working well for you.

With those of us who are not happy with it, it is primarily because of poor results and user interface when searching for example, for Movies:

With the old Bing, it would provide a list of Theaters in the designated search area. You could click on any of these Theaters, and a list of the movies and times for that Theater would be displayed. It was very thorough and well organized.

With the new Bing, for many of us the search results are very incomplete, and typically for locations relatively far from our GPS location. In addition, there seems to be no way of simply getting a list of theaters, and clicking on each to see what is playing there.

With this in mind, since Bing seems to be working well for you, how does your Movie search operate? Does it find all the theaters local to your GPS location? Does the interface allow you to seemlessly switch from Theater List to Movie List by Theater?

I know the added Navigation is a big plus for many, which is why they like that. But many of us have no need for that function (I use Garmin Mobile XT, which additionally is not dependent on a cell phone connection), and the Search function seems dramatically worse with the new Bing.
