What Customers Say About Hacking BlackBerry: ExtremeTech:
|

THE BOOK HAD ALOT OF GREAT INFORMATION IF YOU ARE NEW WITH A BLACKBERRY. I REALLY RECOMMEND TO ANY ONE THAT HAS A BLACKBERRY TO USE IT'S FULL POTENTIONAL.
Huge Let down. It was repetitive, most steps were confusing. Most of the information it posts is really common knowledge, and unlock O'Reillys BlackBerry hacks, I really found no useful information in this book. Really should not get this if you want to get a step up on the devices, your better off checking out some forums. Obviously this book is old, and I take that into account. But this book is just ridden with bad information. And I had a really hard time finishing it.
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.
That's not a hack, that's an excuse to push product. 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. 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. 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". In this case I found all the information I need on Google to do this for free - that's a hack.
