New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.

"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

Thank you for making this easily available.

I tried it and reloaded the september Bing cab I have.

The two main reasons for me were:
1. I like to be able to search by theater OR by movie, and it seemed like I could only search by movie on the new Bing.
2. [this is the deal-breaker for me] I can't access my contacts when trying to map something or get directions. I have to manually enter the address. That is as bad as my Sprint Navigation software. Very annoying.

When MS releases a new Bing that does these things, I'll use it. I hope it meets others needs though, as it looks much 'cooler' than the old Bing.
