If you've never used a blackberry at all get this book, but if you actually read any of the instructions that come with it this book is redundant. I did not learn anything new that I hadn't already read or figured out.

I purchaed this book with the hopes that it would give some insight on how to have the Blackberry Pearl & my Mac computer communicate better. There just wasn't information that was helpful in it for that purpose. All of the other info was pretty basic.

Apparently, Blackberry phones just don't work well with Macs. Since Macs are well-known for recognizing software/hardware/products, this is quite odd.

I've learned more from reading on-line forums, than from the book.

Disappointing. Just skims the surface with very little detail on how to use the substantial number of sub-menu options available.

I was new to the Blackberry world and thought this book would provide me a quick, useful overview. Instead it added to my frustrations. The info is very superficial, far from the 'secrets' the subtitle promises. For example, the discussion on bluetooth connectivity simply states that you should use the USB cable 'because nearly all computers have USB connections'. That's nice but I DO have bluetooth capability and expected some guidance on how I might use that capability to sync my Blackberry. Save your money, swallow your pride and get the Dummies Guide to the Blackberry!
