    A while back I switched from an 8330 to an 8530. Overall the 8530 is far superior EXCEPT one thing. BIng. It sucks. Its horrrrible. From the start page where you can enter a url, see your bookmarks, history etc. The only quick search option is bing. On the 8330 it was google. I find myself adding a whole new step now when I need quick info. I don't even bother using the bing bar, instead ill just go to google.com. Is there ANY WAY to replace the bing bar with a google bar!? Bing is THAT bad!

    Change your browser's start page to google, it looks like Verizon (if that's who you have) removed all other options. Also, take a look at quicklaunch in the CB store, it has so many search options its ridiculous.

    You should have a drop-down menu on the homepage to change your search engine.

    Unfortunately, you're stuck with Bing as the only search option in the BB browser. Microsoft struck a deal with Verizon to have Bing as the exclusive search engine on the newer BB devices.

    There are some things you can do to use Google:

    (1) set Google as your browser's home page

    (2) download the Quick Search with Google application from App World
