AT&T Ditches Google For Yahoo On Its Motorola Backflip
No matter how you phrase it, you’ve really got to appreciate the irony of the whole situation. that is probably one of the downsides of having an open OS, as the Motorola Backflip offered by AT&T will have Yahoo Search plastered all by the phone.
