Nice Job, Bing: Android Now Less Interesting to Me

Posted on May 11, 2010May 11, 2010 By Bob Caswell 3 Comments on Nice Job, Bing: Android Now Less Interesting to Me

The Bing team today unveiled turn-by-turn directions for Windows Phones. Now for those that know me, you may know that I currently am using an Android phone (yeah, yeah, I work for Microsoft and use an Android phone; it happens). And one of the reasons specifically was for the free GPS app available via Google.

Having a phone with this kind of app makes my life less complicated, as it removes one more gadget from my life that I’d just as soon not have separately. But lately my Android phone has felt sluggish (it’s a G1), and with this announcement, I think it’s safe to say that I’m looking at getting myself a nice new Windows Phone 7 this holiday season. Anyone else making a major phone change soon?

    yea, my G1 has been sluggish for the last half year and recently I'm having trouble getting the dang thing charged fully (even after being plugged in for 6 hrs!), and battery drain from apps freezing is killing me.

    CHANGE PLEASE!

    fingers crossed for the Windows Phone 7 being completely awesome by the time my contracts runs up

    Funny how the G1 seemed super cool at first and now is slow with lots of problems. I swear my behavior hasn't changed much! But the phone feels like it has…
