Dude...take it easy...the fact is you're wrong.

Bing mobile can show both a aerial view and a standard road map view. It can not currently show a bird's eye view or a street view. To toggle between the two available views just tap Menu > Map > Aerial.]]>May 13th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/As of right now, Bing on WP7 is native and not a Silverlight app, so I wouldn't worry too much about them not being able to use their code.]]>May 13th 2010 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/

The NEW Bing App was just released a few days ago...punk.

If you'd like to talk about a FUTURE Bing App then clarify that or just go away...nobody really wants what you're trying to offer up here.]]>May 13th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/

It does not have 3D but it seemed precise while navigating, quite precise. I also made a call on my T Mobile TP2 and it went to the call screen, when I finished talking and hung up it did not go back to navigation screen, I had to tap to get back to navigation.
One important thing, it does not have voice commands on my
T-Mobile TP2, it gives a a notification to raise volume and I raised the volume but no voice commands. I looked at the other settings and could not find how to turn voice on; CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT"S A SETTING?? Thanks a million. Nothing beats than free navigation!! Good job Microsoft, good job. I guess improvements will be coming; maybe voice commands on TP2 and 3D with birds eye view, like other navigation systems. ]]>May 14th 2010 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://j.mp/why-choose-ovi-navigation]]>May 14th 2010 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 14th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/
I don't know about that, for a WM-based site they don't seem too biased ...I know their reviews of recent Android phones (desire, incredible, etc.) have been glowing. ]]>May 13th 2010 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/
Justin Bieber (LOL!), I've subscribed to their YouTube channel for quite awhile now and always watch their reviews of all devices and I can say that they are not biased considering they are WinMo and MS fans. I wish all fanboys could have their ability to switch off their biases and be honest to like them. Like Steven said, they've given glowing reviews of Android handsets.]]>May 13th 2010 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/
I can understand how you might get that impression. You see, PocketNow have intelligent editors who know their way around more than just the iPhone. Their ability to look at a mobile OS and not immediately say, "WTF is this shiz? It doesn't look like an iPhone at all! -10 points!" might make you assume a sort of bias if you often read Engadget or Gizmodo. What's really happening, though, is nothing of the sort. They just have an ability to look critically at something, regardless of whether it's an iPhone or not.]]>May 14th 2010 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/
Agreed that Bing maps is under appreciated.

@theinternetstom Dude, just like 90% of the world, I was a regular user of Google Maps until I decided to do what I always do and try other systems or methods. Honestly, from what I can perceive, it seems a touch more quicker and responsive than Google maps and Bird's eye view really is great although I do miss the usefulness of Streetview in certain situations.]]>May 13th 2010 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/@account5

I've tried to give Bing several tries. When compared to Google, it has been weighed, it has been measured, and it has been found wanting. ]]>May 13th 2010 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/May 13th 2010 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/bing-turn-by-turn-navigation-for-windows-mobile-gets-taken-for-a/
