 Very Helpful August 1, 2007

Contrary to the previous reviewer's comments, I found this book to be very helpful. I'm new to the BlackBerry wold and this book helped me quickly get up to speed and learn about tools and techniques that aren't mentioned in the BlackBerry manuals.
 Use Google and save your money November 18, 2006

I eagerly awaited the arival of this book, only to be faced with a manual on where to find shareware or commercial applications! As an example, the cover boldly states "Download and install custom ringtones". I then looked up the chapter only to be faced with the fact that I have to go subscribe to a service for $19.95(US) per year to load ringtones! That's not a hack, that's an excuse to push product! In this case I found all the information I need on Google to do this for free - that's a hack. The rest of the book is filled with commercial software recommendations and I was amazed that all the real hacks I found elsewhere on the Internet are not mentioned or explained?!
Seriously, save your money if you know how to use your BlackBerry and look elsewhere at the books available on Amazon.
