Running .340 on a Verizon 9930. I hide the Bing icon but it comes back after every reboot. I also changed my default search engine from Bing to Google and it returned back to Bing at some point. Reset it back to Google and has stayed through at least one reboot.
Could have lost the default search from screwing around with something else though.
The actually BING icon is pushed by Verizon, it takes you to a page so you can download the BING search application.
It'll never go away, just hide it.
edit: I made a mistake, I'm actually running 7.0.0.254
Not sure but I installed it without deleting the vendor.xml because DM popped up and said update available so that leads me to believe it was leaked from vz. Or do all leaks come from RIM?

Re-read first post, it comes back after hiding it.
