One of the coffee shop group has an android phone. He complained that every time he is in range of various wifi hotspots, he gets an alert from the Bing app announcing it's ready to go. He can't shut off the alert without first signing up for that app's paid service. He can't uninstall the "free" app either.

He didn't say, I didn't ask what phone model, but I pretty sure it a Verizon phone.
