I've always been a bit of a techno-geek. Perhaps it stemmed back to when we purchased Pong (the original version back in the 70s). But when I got my new Blackberry, I was a bit intimidated and confused on how to use a smartphone. This book was very good at covering many topics that helped me along. I was disappointed by the fact that it didn't cover all the features of my Blackberry Curve 8350i, but it definitely helped me to get my Blackberry customized. I'm still learning to use it more efficiently, and hope that continued updates of this book will help others too.
