The Barnes & Noble Review
There are two types of BlackBerry users: those who already love their BlackBerrys, and those who will. This book's for both.

If you've just been handed this diminutive wireless email device by your corporate IT department, Curt Simmons will help you get comfortable with your new baby in a hurry. He'll walk you through BlackBerry's user interface, helping you configure BlackBerry options to your liking, learn keyboard shortcuts (anything to cut down the wear-and-tear on your thumbs!), and use BlackBerry's desktop software (including step-by-step syncing with your fave-rave PIM or enterprise mail system.)

If you're already happily reading your email, Simmons will help you insinuate your BlackBerry throughout the rest of your life. (Sure, wireless email that finds you automatically is the BlackBerry's sexiest feature, but when it comes to productivity, the address book, alarms, task lists, and other applications aren't to be sneezed at, either.)

Simmons presents complete coverage of BlackBerry's wireless Internet support; and shows how to extend the BlackBerry with add-ons and other goodies. He concludes with a full chapter on troubleshooting your BlackBerry (there's a bit more to know than "change your batteries and reboot by sticking a paperclip into the reset button"). (Bill Camarda)
