Motorola and Microsoft – apparently bosom buddies over the past few years if we’re to believe the statements of both companies – have signed a deal that will make Bing the search engine of choice on the Motorola Android-based smartphones.
The agreement will kick-off with the Bing-loaded smartphones being sold in China this month – the biggest mobile market around. Bing’s search and map facilities will no doubt be extremely popular in China.

With the resolution of the T-Mobile and Orange merger and the legal battles over spectrum bands drawing to a close, the government has asked UK telecoms regulator Ofcom to implement Kip Meek’s proposals in regards to selling off the spectrum.
Currently the UK has 60MHz near the 800MHz band and the 190MHz and 2.6GHz bands to sell to the highest bidder. In additions to Meek’s proposals, the UK aims to sell off the bands this year, or at the very least the TDD spectrum. Hopefully with Ofcom behind it, we’ll be looking at an auction some point in the near future.

If Nokia wants to keep its market share where it is, it’s going to have to up its game – and its chips!
