How to Do Everything with Your BlackBerry
This book is useful only if you’ve lost your original BB manual. As there’s hardly anything extra contained it that is not in the manual or the online assistance. I was particularly interested in how to use my BB as a modem for my laptop but totally disappointed. Its contents caters mainly to a 7290 model.

“Everything” is an overstatement, albeit a great notion. I wanted to learn to do everything!
But if you want to move your desktop icons you will need to go to Blackberry’s website to find out how, and if you are unable (despite following instructions) to remove the pesky default ad-tag line “Sent wirelessly . . . ” that appears after your signature in emails you will have to phone your service provider.
This nice-looking book does not tell you “everything” by any means. It is actually little more than a restatement of the documentation that comes with a Blackberry.

I bought this book for the office hoping it would help in understanding the simple tasks as well as the more detailed tasks the blackberry is capable of performing. It was a little disappointing. I found more help on the blackberry website tutorial than I found in this book. Hopefully a book will come out that has been revised for the newer blackberries that will be more helpful.

I’ve had my BlackBerry for a while now, and like others here, I learned a number of tricks I did not know! Very concise, well written book which I’ve recommended to 2 others who I keep in contact with via BB.

As someone who teaches Blackberry usage, I found this book useful for some really, really, basic info, but it just doesn’t go far enough. For instance, the author tells you how useful the PIN feature is, but not how to use it. And there are simple features (such as ‘encryption’ and ‘antialiasing’) that a user will find by exploring her blackberry that are not mentioned in this book.
Also, the author says you can not view any attachments on your BB. So not true. A “viewer” is always available on the 7200 & later models.
