    Browser, Menu, Options, Manage Search Engines. If you're not seeing it, blame VZW lol.. It's on my Rogers Bold 9900.

    So weird that i was hearing you on the podcast as you replied. Anyways, its not an option. You can add one, but Google didnt give me the desired result. Damn you Verizon!

    You can add a search providor (at least I can with my 9930) but you need to know what URL to add. I am not sure what the proper URL is for Google. Does anyone else know?

    I figured it out! Under manage search engines press new search engine. Then call it google and under address type http://www.google.com/m/search?q=%s
    glidewells and Speczorz like this.

    My guess is Microsoft paid Verizon big bucks to push Bing. Its been that way on VZW for a long time.

    Yes.Also RIM and Microsoft announced earlier this year at the BB World Conference in Orlando that Bing will be the Default search engine for all future BlackBerrys.

    Exactly, VZW has been limiting default search engine to Bing since Storm2 launched in Sept 2009.
