It's been confirmed that Bing is not only the default browser but cannot be changed for another. The reason being that it has been fully integrated into the OS. It's not an App in the way Apple or Android apps behave: as independent ecosytems. Therefore it's not a simple case of replacing Bing with Google.
However they have confirmed that you could download a Google or Yahoo app browser and search the internet on that, but anything that requires a link or integration to the internet, either from a Hub or another app will go straight to Bing.
It makes sense, as Bing has been optimised for WP7 - not just in terms of speed, but also content: eg. map directions etc, and the Bing Tell Me voice recognition which is integrated throughout! It works great aswell!
