Now that we have learned that the G2 locks out hackers so they can't root it, you have to consider that it's also true of this device. If that's true, good luck getting rid of Bing.

QQ more about Bing. Like every HTC device I have ever owned (4) it is very simple to set application defaults. And if that doesnt work the just route it. Personally if you dont even plan on routing it, then don't buy it. And that goes for any smartphone, if you dont plan to upgrade the software when you get it then your phone is already behind the times. By the time a phone has been out for a month there are generally 5 better operation protocols that could be added to enhance the device.

if you get the insurance program ($5 a month) you can do whatever you want to the phone and get a new one…. literally anything.

I'm not a fan of integrating Bing in with no option of switching back to the Google stuff.

“Bing” by Microsoft, doesn't belong on a “Google” phone. Thats it!

People should refuse to buy these non-google phones…the people who do buy them will probably just root them and fix this issue anyway.

Notice how Motorla isn't letting Verizon put bing on their phones. HTC and Samsung are getting the bing treatment. They are trying to put bing on the phones that are actually making it, since microsoft phones arent taking off. (wheres the Kin???? riiiiiight!…)

Bing or Google, wont matter, as soon as ROM's come out for this phone.
You can run it however you want.
Remember people this is Android, people hack the balls off these phones.
So dont accept the stock OS as the "be all end all" of your phones OS.
I would get this phone and root it and put on a rom anyway.
Not to mention, even if you dont root, I am sure there will be a bunch of ways to get it back to Google
for all the services. I have been waiting for a phone like this ever since the Verizon Touch Pro 2.
This is like that phone, only with a
1ghz processor,
front and rear camera
large full keyboard (a lot like the xbox360 chat pad for button feel)
large 4.3 screen.
Even though my preference is Motorola (being a Droid 1 owner)
I start to drool a little at the thought of this phone too.

AND furthermore, if they never put anything other than google on a phone, eventually people would complain about that too saying they dont have any choice.
So basically their darned if they do and their darned if they dont. So they did it.
Stop complaining, be glad your not on At&t and enjoy your phones, whatever they may be.

This is crap. I have the Droid Eris and would VERY much like to stay with HTC Android phones since I love Sense. However, I very much dislike Bing. Make it go away! Make it stop!

I'm guessing he meant the TouchPro 2 was an awesome phone.

You might want to take a second to re-read things before you start with the "get with the program" and the "Geez".
