Book Reviews of BlackBerry For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Book Review: Apparently I need Blackberry for Idiots...
Summary: 1 Stars

If this is for dummies, then I need the one for idiots! Seriously! This is not a book for beginners. (I'm still looking for that one, I'll keep you posted) It reminds me of the software books written by people who are so knowledgeable about the subject that they've lost their ability to "break it down" for the common folk. Hard to find some of the most basic information. Very, very frustrating and disappointing. If you're new to the berry - don't start here.
