Is Bing Being Pushed Automatically To Storm From Verizon

Today I had to do a hard reset on my Blackberry Storm2 from Verizon. I pulled the battery and restarted my phone. To my surprise, when the Storm powered up again, I noticed a ”Bing” icon that surely was not there before.  I have not installed Bing, I have not downloaded it, it just appeared there after powering up the phone. When I opened the mysterious Bing icon it took me to an Agreement site where I could download the Bing app. I downloaded and installed the Bing app.

I have been playing with the Bing app for the last couple of minutes and I am really impressed with it. Mostly because of its perfect UI: beautiful, usable, practical and innovative. And also because of the features. It has Maps with directions and has voice search! You just speak, your BB Storm listens and then searches for that thing you said. The voice recognition works pretty well and is very accurate. So try it for yourself, pull the battery from your Storm2 from Verizon and try to see if Bing magically appears, or, head to Bing.com and select ”Download Interactive Client for Blackberry”

    I just got my BB Storm 2 a couple of days ago and I’ve been a bit skeptical about the Bing search tool–mainly because I’m not a fan of Bing. Right now, if it’s not Google, it’s not worth it. But, as per your advice, I’ll check it out. I’m curious as to how it works with turn-by-turn directions, and whether it’s worth using instead of VZ Navigator.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I don’t like BING! I’ve installed the GOOGLE Mobile App…you can do voice searches too. You can use it to search your phone for a file or the web … Oh, did I say I didn’t like BING?
