Every Android phone sold through Google will feature the latest and greatest Android OS and complete Google integration. I still think that Google should have created provisions to limit carrier/manufacturer tampering… but that would make them more like Apple (evil). Looks like they’ve dug a bit of a hole… hopefully they were smart and have planned around this so it doesn’t become a huge problem.

I like Google search, but I LOVE bing! Wish there was an app for it on my HTC Droid Incredible phone as good as the bing app was on my Blackberry Storm 2.

I would like to be able to choose my own search engine. I am currently on my motorola backflip. Though it uses yahoo as the basics for the search engine it still comes with all of the google apps. Such as gmail, gtalk, and google maps. I have owned an htc g1 before this & the only differnce is the search engine.

I highly doubt Bing would replace Google in the US considering that Google designed the Android operating system.

i do not use anything google.
this is really waste of time to read any comments of people that make politics out of technology.
I think microsoft is doing a great job and a wonderful contribution to technology today and their services are far better. example Bing.com organizes information in a fantastic way and i find aynthing much faster.

i personally would rather have yahoo mail for the email client since i have been using it since, well, it has been out. i dont wanna have to switch to Gmail just because i get an android phone. but other then the email client, i like the rest of googles services. just allow people to pick what they wanna use and EVERYONE will be happy

this is totally lame, at least they should give you an option when booting the device for the first time.
anyway, im quite happy with google services and they tend to do best and wouldn’t want to switch to another service provider

I just wrote Motorola a letter, via their website, and told them I wouldn’t purchase a phone without Google services on it. I sent them a link to this post so someone over there (hopefully someone with sense) can look see the overwhelming support for Google.

If it’s not broke, don’t fix it! When I heard what AT&T did to the backflip, I decided to look at other carriers. I want an open phone, to customize to my own preferences. I will not buy an AT&T android phone. And if Motorola does the same, by using Bing on there devices, I won’t even consider any of the devices they sell. Just leave Android alone!

uh, why? i wouldn’t buy an android phone that didn’t integrate with Google services…that is the leverage. And on the same note, i wouldn’t buy a WinPho7 device if it didn’t integrate with Microsoft services.

And reaffirming what others have already said, it the carrier/OEM wants to default to another service or load their own applications…fine. But the device must allow removal of said applications by the consumer or the ability to change to another service (i.e. search engine). Otherwise, no deal and i’ll take my $$ elsewhere.

Bad, bad decision on Motorola’s part if they pursue this path. It’s likely being enticed by a boatload of $$ which Motorola could see it improving their bottomline further but the long-term implications are pretty significant in disenfranchising the customer (install and potential) base.

Google+Android saved Motorola from closure, and this is how they pay back.
I like Google experience, because their products get better and better, are innovative and if the best on the market. If I wanted an MS or iCrap phone i would have got one.
I will never buy a Motorola phone if its not Google experience.
For sure there must be a conspiracy against the Android and this is very obvious from the launch of Nexus One.
Stupid/false reviews by big blogs/sites/newspapers, hammering of android market (number and quality of apps, suddenly nobody remembers the bad quality of apps on appstore when it was launched), apple going after HTC on patents, lately an app programmed wrongly to show the multitouch does not work on nexus. Should i go on? People please continue if you remember anything else.
Anyway Google is not afraid of them, and i think if phone manufacturers insist on killing Google experience then Google should go ahead and start producing their own phones.

It’s looking more and more like I won’t be able to ever upgrade from my Droid, lol. Honestly, I love the vanilla OS. I don’t want yahoo or bing or sense or blur.

Like almost everyone else has commented, I bought my Droid because it was Google oriented – I have absolutely zero interest in an MS or Yahoo integrated product.
