To download “Bing”, type m.bing.com in your web browser. Click “Download interactive maps” for Windows Mobile. Then following the on-screen instruction.
After the installation, you will see the “Bing” icon in Programs.
Tap on “Bing” icon to run it. Below is the dashboard of Bing. The Map is very similar to Google Map. It also use cellular phone tower to decide your location, so it is not very accurate.
The two features I really like is the “Traffic” and “Movies”. The “Traffic” map seems accurate and it automatically update every 2 minutes. The “Movies” is easy to navigate. You can quickly find the theater a movie is playing in or check the show time of any particular theater around your area.
The “Gas Princes” searches the lowest gas price around your area. But I think they could add more sorting capabilities.
“Categories” allow you search local business by category. It is like a yellow page and I think it is very handy.
“Collections” has some predefined search criteria. I found the “Upcoming event” is kind of strange. It is not sorted by date/time. It even listed classes at some hospitals.
“Bing” crashed a couple times when the memory on my cell phone running low. With all the maps and automatic updates, you could imagine that it requires a lot of resources. But overall, I think “Bing” is a really nice application.
