T-Mobile Trades In Yahoo for Google

Mar 5, 2010, 5:10 PM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile USA has called off its year-long exclusive search deal with Yahoo and has replaced it with Google. The deal was completed recently and Google replaced Yahoo as the default search engine on T-Mobile handsets approximately March 3. Phone Scoop was able to verify on a T-Mobile phone that Google Search is now active in T-Mobile's Web2Go platform and home page. Earlier this week, AT&T disclosed that it has replaced Google on its Motorola Backflip Android phone with Yahoo's search, instead.
