If you purchased the Samsung Fascinate from Verizon, then surely you have noticed that the phone comes standard with Bing instead of Google, and getting the Google Search application installed is a pain. This is because Verizon and Microsoft have entered a multi-device deal to promote Bing.
This might not be a deal breaker to most, but to some of us it’s pretty annoying. To anyone who prefers Google’s search engine to Bing, it is annoying. At least we have some good news. According to a Verizon Wireless spokesperson, when the Fascinate is updated to Android 2.2, users will be able to download the Google Search application to get easy access to Google’s search, but the downside is that users will still be unable to change the default search setting from Bing to Google.
The search button will continue to trigger a Bing search.

Google has pissed off some powerful people. Bing is on the iphone as of 3.1? But most people don’t really pay attention, and if they do, don’t care if they get the choice. But by now i am sure most people wh have the facinate have just gotten use to it.
I actually find the Bing mobile search to be better than Google so…..
