5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK, May 31, 2008
I am a first time Blackberry user. I have the Blackberry Curve 8310. This book is EXTREMELY helpful. It describes in details everything that you would want to know about your Blackberry. I am very impressed. Martin and Gary (authors) did a very very good job with this book. If you purchase this book you will not be disappointed. I carry my book with me constantly to use as a reference since I am learning something new all the time about my Blackberry. Great book!!!
