VZW Android Bing Phone

Android phone with Bing coming to VZW :(

This appears to be a rebrand of the Galaxy S by Samsung at least it looks like you will be able to install google maps but this might not give you the nav features as the Motorola Droid has because of the inclusion of the VZNavigator. On a brighter note this is the first really VZW branded locked down Android phone it might not be the last either but at least we should be safe with Motorola phones not doing this on the Droid lines.
