 The Magic to unlock your Blackberry. Aug 04, 2006
By R. Shaff
"Velocipede"
I've been a Blackberry user for some time, and just like most tech gadgets today, the BB has such a rich feature set, most users will never know all the secrets. Well, to a large degree, that has changed.
Martin Trautschold's BLACKBERRY MADE SIMPLE is the key to unlocking many of the BB secrets...those that make life much easier. I purchased Trautschold's "ebook" version some time ago, before the current published version, but regardless, the information is necessary and superb.
As an example, on my HOME screen, the default icons are those RIM believes are primary to most users. However, as every user is different, the location and ease of invoking a function is paramount. I wanted to either delete or move certain icons, but was unable to do so because the documentation (User's Manual {ha!}) is extremely lacking. Enter BLACKBERRY MADE SIMPLE. Trautschold's cure? Hide the icon...
1. Scroll to the icon you want to move or hide.
2. Hold down the ALT key, click the trackwheel, and select "Move application" or "Hide application."
{If you're moving the application, you then use the trackwheel to place the icon, and click the trackwheel to end the operation.}
It's that simple!
Trautschold's book is loaded with gems just like this throughout. Any new or experienced BB user will benefit from this book; it simply should be a requirement.

An invaluable resource! Aug 04, 2006
By Tolen May
"Network Manager"
This book is an incredible resource for newbie Blackberry users as well as experienced pros. As a Network Administrator, I have been recommending it all my Blackberry users for a long time. It's very heavily illustrated, so you know exactly where you are on the Blackberry while it's teaching you something.
The book is full of useful tips and tricks to make use of this productivity tool...well....productive! One of the easiest and most useful shortcuts for me was "press T to go to the top of your email"; for so long I had been scrolling... and scrolling.
Thanks for writing this book. It really does what the title says "make it simple".

Don't even try to Blackberry without this book! Aug 04, 2006
By Horst Tondasch
When I bought my first Blackberry, I was part of a small but fast growing community. No Phone-service-provider knew anything about these devices, the experienced Blackberry-users spoke their own language which I did not understand. I found Martin Trautschold's e-book and that helped me to get the most use out of my Blackberry. I would have never found all this information myself. Even now, as I am in the process to upgrade to the newest Blackberry device, I experience that the phone-service-providers have no clue what they are selling. Again, I need Martin to set me up with the new features.
This book is a must for every BB-user. And you can even go further and watch easy to follow videos for every process on Martins website.

A MUST HAVE for any Blackberry User Aug 06, 2006
By O. Mendoza
I'm on my fourth Blackberry and am pretty familiar with the device and its functions. After buying BB Made Simple for Full Keyboard BB's, I was blown away at how much more I could do with my Blackberry. Currently on an 8700 I was able to pick up loads of useful information to really take me to the next level. I HIGHLY recommend this book to ANY full keyboard BB user...you WILL NOT be disappointed. A worthwhile investment!!!
