Verizon snuffs Google for Microsoft search

,----[ Quote ]
| Verizon has unilaterally updated user Storm
| 2 BlackBerries and other smartphones so that
| their browser search boxes can only be used
| with Microsoft Bing.
|
| The move is part of the five-year search and
| advertising deal Verizon signed with
| Microsoft in January for a rumored $500m.
|
| [...]
|
| Naturally, such sites can still be queried
| via the browser proper. But countless users
| are up-in-arms over the switch. A discussion
| thread dedicated to the change at
| CrackBerry, a popular BlackBerry user site,
| is now 36 pages long.
