Windows Phone Thoughts - Daily News, Views, Rants and Raves

Bing Mobile recently got an update, however I'm hearing quite a bit of mixed reactions on it. Todd Ogasawara isn't a fan, calling it "touch hostile", while Darren Humphries of Mobile Jaw is happy to see Traffic for Canada (Something Google Maps hasn't integrated yet). Love it or hate it, it's out now and shall bring Bing to your device if you'd like.

Bing is Microsoft's re-branded and re-launched Live Search engine, so if you're looking for something using your smartphone, point your mobile browser at m.bing.com. A nice, short URL! I've done a bit of testing and it works quite well in terms of results and giving you customized options for your location - I added weather to the Bing home page. Of course, it's always a bit of a challenge to fit a lot of results on the screen, but at first glance Bing works well. Have you used it yet? What are your impressions?

"Bing isn't just a search engine, it's a decision engine. Download these Bing-branded ringtones to your mobile device, then make www.bing.com your new default search engine today."

Microsoft's BingTones certainly live up to their name. There's more "bing" in them than you could ever imagine. Perhaps to the point where using them would cause offense to those around you on your daily commute. Still, check 'em out and let us know if they've found a new home on your Windows Mobile device.
