Re: Mandatory Bing update. Frustration!
One cludgey work-around that works for some phones/OS's, is to have Bing 4 installed, put your phone in Airplane Mode, start Bing, wait a few minutes (while the Update expires in the background), and then turn Airplane Mode off. For some when this is done, they can use the old Bing, and not have the Upgrade box come up.
You then either have to keep Bing open, or go through the process again, for this to continue working.
I can't seem to get this working on my Verizon TP2 (WM 6.1, Stock ROM), but it does seem to work for others.
FWIW. Microsoft peronnel on their website keep indicating that they're passing the feedback to the Bing development team, so maybe something will change (although I'm not holding my breath).
