Product Description
101 Cool Camera Phone Techniques will be the "first to market" consumer-targeted tips book for this new popular platform. This will be the "manual that should have been in the box."

It will also connect consumers to useful Web sites for sharing and editing photos and learning more camera phone news and tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Book!, February 23, 2005

By	Ken (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

I'm a corporate IT professional and smartphone user. I've been looking for a Series 60 smartphone book as a basis for training our staff and helping them become more efficient. For the longest time there was nothing...and then I discovered this. I can't express how happy I am with this book. It's much more than a "Missing Manual." In fact, it's incredibly rich and useful, and the add-on applications it covers illustrate how to get even more "smartness" from smartphones, a point that the manufacturers haven't yet adequately communicated to the general public. Superb book!

5.0 out of 5 stars UNBELIEVEABLE!!!, February 22, 2005

By	Mick Jones "Mick" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I saw this book last week at a tradeshow in Cannes, France (3GSM World Congress) and I was blown away. I never realized the extent of how similar to my Windows PC my non-Windows smartphone (Nokia 7610) is! The book outlines cool tricks like copy/paste and also gives tips on applications users can buy and install to their phone after they begin using it. Believe me, the price is minimal for the value included in this book!
