Verizon Pushing Microsoft Bing on BlackBerry Homepage

verizon_homepage I think it was awhile back when Verizon started having Microsoft Live search on the BlackBerry default homepage. Now Shmully let me know that they have changed it to Microsoft Bing search which makes sense.

I just find it interesting that RIM has decided to put Google, Live, Wikipedia, and Dictionary.com in the latest GoTo… screen in the browser. I wonder if Google is paying RIM to put it there like they do in Firefox? I just noticed Live Search got added to the RIM screen recently since I do not remember it being there from the beginning. The main annoyance I have with RIM’s implementation of the search screen is that it takes you to the desktop version of Google and not the mobile version.

So I am curious. What search engine do you use on your BlackBerry? Bing? Google? Google Mobile? How do you access it? (Google app/Browser Homepage/bookmark/etc.)
