Apparently I need Blackberry for Idiots... If this is for dummies, then I need the one for idiots! Seriously! This is not a book for beginners. (I'm still looking for that one, I'll keep you posted) It reminds me of the software books written by people who are so knowledgeable about the subject that they've lost their ability to "break it down" for the common folk. Hard to find some of the most basic information. Very, very frustrating and disappointing. If you're new to the berry - don't start here.
Blackberry for Dummies Well Worth It Very easy to maneuver around the book finding what I need to know and ignoring the usual Dummies blather.
Great Book for the Right User I think the book gives a great overview of BlackBerry and many details into common applications!! If you are expecting an advanced book on topics like "hacking tips" then that is out of scope. The content does provide a lot of insight and it's a great read.
The Age of Technology is upon us: Lets Embrace IT! You don't have to be a CEO of a start-up IT company to own a blackberry now-a-days. This technology has become very popular and affordable and this book is a great way to learn the product and experience the technological revolution that's happening now in front of us by puting powerful tools literally at the palm of your hand. The book breaks down the main concepts into simple steps and shows how to become an expert user. This is a great buy. Highly recommended to users of all levels.
