Jen O'Connell has written a no-nonsense guide to the wireless world. She makes easy reading out of the various acronyms, technologies, etc. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in learning more about the cell phone or mobile space or who buys cellular devices for themselves or a company.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last common sense for cell phones!, June 30, 2007

By	Denis Pombriant (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a relief! Somebody finally got around to giving us a cell phone manual that didn't make us feel like dummies. Lots of common sense, practical and helpful insights for us commoners about how our phones work and how we can work with them. Thanks Jen O'Connell!
