How curious! I wonder what it is that caused this decision - after all, in my experience, Google has always produced more accurate results.

And removing the search bar altogether is surely some sort of anti-trust violation is it not? Especially if users cannot add it back in, which seems to be stated in this article: "[The testers] tried several APK’s of the Google Seach bar and have not been able to get those to work either."

I do wonder what the motivations behind this move are? It has certainly dissuaded me from purchasing an Android from them (which I had otherwise planned to), and will be looking elsewhere instead - I cannot be productive without my Google Search!

I'm sure Bing is handing cash over to Verizon for this. Bing buys its users.

That does seem to be (from past experience) the microsoft way of doing things... I can't say I'm impressed.
