Microsoft and Sprint introduced location-based Live Search

Microsoft and Spring are extending their partnership by offering new services for all Spring customers. New Microsoft location-based Live Search is now available for Spring users. This new search service will now automatically find users location. Unfortunately instead of using GPS to determine the users location, it's using cell-tower triangulation, which makes is less accurate, but widely available.

Location-based Live Search wasn't the only new service that Spring and Microsoft announced. They have also come up with new voice search service, which is powered by Tellme. Voice search by Live Search for mobile is a Java application and it works with most Spring phones.
