Verizon Bold

So you see, I've been with Sprint for years. And I've been with Blackberry for years. But due to some network problems with Sprint, I unfortunately had to leave them.

So yesterday I'm messing around on the phone and I notice that my default search on the browser is locked into Bing! That's not exactly a bad thing it's just that I'm a Google user myself (Sprint's default was always Google). I can't figure out how to delete Bing or even how to add Google!

I've never had to mess with it before but I can't believe I can't figure this out. *little embarassed*

Any sort of help would be great!

Anyhoo, long time reader, first time poster.

Here's the search engine link you'll want in there:

http://www.google.com/m/search?q=%s

Start typing anything in the address bar. You'll see "search for" with Bing. Just tap the Bing logo and you'll get a choice of sites to search. The browser will keep your last used choice.

The address you have to use for Google is: http://www.google.com/m/search?q=%s

If you attempt to use "www.google.com" the browser will advise it cannot install.

Hey, thanks. I recall the furor when Verizon changed the choices of Search Engine to Bing (after a multi-million dollar deal with MS). Recently got the 9930 and did not realize we could create our own default. Nice that you can now add Google back - even if they know everything I eat/breathe and sleep!
