New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.
"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

It is mainly only a maintenance update...does seem to run faster and smoother for me and GPS is pretty spot on now..
Not much to tell really..
Until the new BING is able to access my contacts, I will continue to use the September 2009 version I have.
I tried this new one and I don't like the way it locates movies [the old one let you search by theater or by movie] and I have to type/speak a friend's address in to get directions to them [the old one let you select from your contact list to set either origination or destination points].
These are 'deal breakers' for me. Until they are resolved I won't touch the new BING.
I'm just glad I saved that old .cab!

Yeah I agree....
The only thing nice about the newer versions is Style/Look...
The old are still the best...
I didn't expect a change to Bing Mobile until WP7.
It seems to be more of a buf fix than anything grand.
Can somone please post a link to the best available BING cab for the Sprint TP2 ????
Thanks.
I was using the stock Sprint 6.5 ROM for the TP2 and preferred that version of BING to the new one.
I lost that version of BING when I installed MightyROM Rhodium.
Garbage. Why do they not put their bird's eye view back in? It's really the only thing going for Bing.
Not sure why you say to bad for Verizon but it's on my Verizon TouchPro 2 and working just fine. Downloaded straight from m.bing.com/download...

Is this the cab from the Sprint WM6.5 or is it an earlier one?
My Sprint WM6.5 Livesearch gives me a Bing version of 4.6.9179.1 (OEM). Is that this version?
I ask as I would like to have a backup of my Bing version [or newer] so I can continue to test Bing upgrades as they come out and then I can revert to one that allows access to contacts if the newest Bing doesn't.
My Bing cab is an older version. I would have to install it to verify which one, but it was from September 9 2009.
Thanks again.

There's another new version of Bing out which does a MUCH better job of navigation than the previous version. Might be worth checking out and comparing to the version prior to the UI change.

Yeah, thanks, I'm not sure why it was downloading the binary, thats weird.
Thanks for the update, i just tested it out and it works great.

Great!
yes this is not the java version, not sure how to exactly enable street view when applicable, may not be any street view maps in canada
Just installed it.. fantastic. Very nice upgrade, walking directions has it's own tab in there now! Handy for walking in NYC or Philly along with street view
Just saw the announcment:

Anybody had a chance to try it out yet ?
I guess that UI is better than Music ID.
I cant find it in marketplace!

I think Marketplace is blocking it for people who don't have a 6.5 phone.
Hmm anyone with 6.5 confirm its not there?

I don't think so because I have onyx 5.2.2 and also no shazam
I have wm6.5 23064 and I dont see it either.
IMO, Midomi is way better than Shazam. It'll identify some pretty obscure stuff.
Abybody got any sucess in finding it in the Marlketplace? I can't find either.
Midomi is in the marketplace - I think it was $5
The availability of applications in marketplace depends the region you live.
I live in Brazil and I can only see 31 applications.
Only 14 in france...

Not only region, it's also dependent on device capability. If the dev flags his app as QVGA, and you have WQVGA or VGA, then you won't see it. Same goes for other features such as GPS etc.
Still, thanks to the completely f***ing STUPID decision to not let you choose where you can install apps, the Marketplace has pretty limited use for now.

It's not a "Wingster ROM".....
Wingster only provides access to the ROM's, in an easy to use format. I haven't created any of those ROM's. Soo.....
About your question, you can install ANY app developed for Windows Mobile. Just because you have a custom ROM, doesn't mean a thing, since it's still Windows Mobile Operating System.
So, visit http://www.1800pocketpc.com/ and get yourself some free awesome apps!!!

Because your icon will appear as "H" now.

So whenever you see the "H" up there, that means you're on the fast 3G. It's all right, it's just a different icon You still get as fast, or possibly faster download speeds.

Hey Everyone. This is my first time starting a new thread, but a recent release got me interested.
Yesterday, Skype released Skype Mobile for Android. Yee Haw, right?
Wrong. It's only for Verizon. My personal opinion, that's dumb.
I've got a Sprint HTC Hero, and I would *LOVE* to have Skype on it.
Is there anyone out there who's freaking awesome and is planning on developing a work-around for the Verizon-only bit?
If so, I beg you, PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!
Thanks in advance!
I remember having an official Skype program on my phone shortly after I got it. It was chat only, though. Now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm guessing that they check which carrier you are on and block it to any carrier that doesn't want it used on their network. I'm guessing Sprint would lose out on their international plans if Skype Mobile with VOIP was allowed.

would changing your ROM/build allow you to use the Verizon version of skype to make call?
your saying they block apps based on phone carrier, is that determined by the pre-loaded ROM/ just a code that the market reads to determine the apps that are shown or is it a hardware thing?
i was reading that new build had access to all app.

something odd that i've noticed is withthe 2.2 market skype doesn't even appear, but on a 2.1 rom it does.
Search Google for ( "index of" com.skype.android.lite.apk ) it works on other carrier phones and can run on WiFi (vzw dont). Would upload but not anywhere near home.
