I bought this book, not because I have a
BlackBerry Pearl but because I was
thinking of getting one and wanted to see just what they realy can do. I first went and talked to the people at the store - useless. Then I went to the web, and did a lot better, but I still wanted more detail. Sometimes those people speak in jargon, they use words to describe things that just don't mean the same things I understand them to mean. I thought that buying this inexpensive book would answer my questions better than trying to get information out of the barely trained sales person at the store. It worked perfectly. Instead of just saying that the thing will do something, it says that if you want to do something, here's how. In essence this book answered every question I had, and then some. For instance I would never have thought to ask about accessories or software. Of course it's written in the usual irreverent '
For Dummies' style that I happen to like. It makes reading about dull computer stuff less boring.
