He's talking about integrated Bing on the Windows 7 phone not a browser. On a browser Bing just isn't anywhere near as good as Google (of course I haven't tried Bing for many months now) but the integrated Bing on the Windows 7 phones is really amazing and nothing I've used can compare to it....it's the exact opposite of what you are used to from browsers. |
If you talk about functionality and immediateness and user-friendliness of the UI, I can believe you, but the quality of the search shouldn't change, as it's performed remotely, on Bing's servers, or clusters or distributed network, whatever it uses, although, if the client is on its turn equipped with a search engine to perform local searches on users local storage by itself, then yes, in this particular case local search performance may vary too from a client to another.
Notice also that in the particular case of map searches, performance may vary too from a country to another and even from a city to another: in my city Bing maps definitely suck, but I can say too that once my Navigon GPS, that is supposed to be specialized just on that job, misguided me through a supposed shortcut that actually was restricted traffic and so narrow I scratched both rear mirrors, so Bing is not alone.
