Reviews of BlackBerry Made Simple Products & Services
Great help for beginners and power users
Reviewer: Christian Bretscher (Zurich, Switzerland)
"BlackBerry Made Simple" is a real great help
for beginners as well as for power users. I have found most useful hints that allowed me to work faster and better with my blackberry.
Best of all: Martin Trautschold even answered my
e-mails with additional personal questions very friendly, quickly and precisely!
My Blackberry Bible--A "must have" book to go with
my Blackberry
Reviewer: Lenny (Port St. Lucie, Florida)
As a healthcare professional and inventor of a product that helps people get
eye drops into their eyes without missing, called ezdrops. I have both versions
of Blackberry Made Simple. The e-version and the hard copy. My hard copy of
Blackberry Made Simple and my Blackberry has saved me hundreds of man
hours by not having to wait to be at a computer for my e mails and text
messages. Blackberry Made Simple has proven to be my "bible" and I keep in with
me in my brief case for the times that I travel as well as the need to find
short cuts on my Blackberry. quickly. Martin has made the Blackberry
device extremely user friendly by making Blackberry Made Simple very easy and
fool proof to understand.
If you decide to get a Blackberry device then you MUST get the Blackberry Made
Simple book!
Sincerely,
Lenny Muroff, President

 The Magic to unlock your Blackberry.
Reviewer: R. Shaff "Velocipede" (USA)
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.
A MUST HAVE for any Blackberry User
Reviewer: O. Mendoza (USA)
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. 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!!!
Don't even try to BlackBerry without this book!
Reviewer: Horst Tondasch (Florida)
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 BlackBerry user. And you can even go further and watch easy to follow videos for every process on Martins website.
SUPER RESOURCE
Reviewer: Bo Marcus (New Canaan, CT, USA)
The book is a SUPER RESOURCE for 3 reasons:
1. It covers the simple stuff and expert shortcuts and tips that I never knew existed!
2. The Table of Contents is well designed and make it easy to find what you need.
3. Martin, the author, is very dedicated to keeping it updated and making his customers happy.
Better Than Treo
Reviewer: Steve Notario, Director of Sales (USA)
Let me say this, I have only
been using a Blackberry for 8 months. Prior to my Blackberry I used a Treo
650. When I joined my new company they issued me a new Blackberry, I had
that dreaded feeling of having to learn a new phone, the learning curve was
going at a slow crawl, until I purchased your Blackberry Made Simple book. Your
publication was key in allowing me to ramp up my skills very quickly and
effectively put my Blackberry to work within days of being assigned my new
phone.
The twenty tips and tricks emails, were very useful in getting me started
and getting a basic understanding of the full capabilities of my Blackberry.
My Co-workers all had been using the Blackberry for months, they were all
self trained. By using your tip and tricks I was performing advanced skills
they had no clue about, and started to ask me questions, like how did you do
that. You know the rest, best of luck and continued success!
Terrific!
Reviewer: S. Kornegay (USA)
Your book is terrific!
Great Book and Email Tips!
Reviewer: J. B., Chief Technology Officer, Albany College of Pharmacy (Albany, NY, USA)
I really like the book and the email tips that get sent
along with it!
Impressed
Reviewer: Douglas W. Given, Owner, Commercial Real Estate Firm (Ohio, USA)
Before Blackberry, I was using a Treo 600. Treo began to have issues like freezing up and the device would do nothing.
I struggled with it because I could only remember how difficult it was to program initially and learn all the procedures
and short cuts. If I had known about your book and knew how easy it was to follow "Made Simple"
I would have switched to Blackberry long ago. The book itself is great, but I was even more impressed when
I contacted you by email with a question, you responded quickly and proceeded with a quick research and
ultimate answer other supposed experts could not answer.
Really helped me figure my BlackBerry out!
Reviewer: Mike S. (Los Angeles, California, USA)
Your product has really helped me figure my BlackBerry out, thanks much!
 It's very helpful!
Reviewer: Jonathan B. (USA)
It's really helpful! BlackBerry Made Simple helped me learn how to
do useful stuff on my BlackBerry I never thought possible."
It's very helpful!
Reviewer: Gerry G. (California, USA)
It's very helpful! I'd like to add that without the help of your book,
it would have been nearly impossible to set my Blackberry up on my own
with the documentation provided by the manufacturer.
I love it!
Reviewer: Beth D. (USA)
The BlackBerry Made Simple eBook was definitely helpful... It's like
"Blackberry for Idiots". I love it!!"
I needed to set up the BlackBerry that night and I was desperate!
Reviewer: Lee L. (USA)
I found your e-book through Google, I needed to set up the BlackBerry that night and I was desperate!
So I went ahead and bought it – and was SO pleased!
The book has given me exactly the information I needed for the initial setup!
Great Cheat Sheet and Reference Guide
Reviewer: Isariya Duncan (Orange, CA USA)
Many books say they will make your life easier in getting to
know your device, this one actually does. I learned great shortcut/time
saving tips for my BlackBerry without having to search through a mound of text.
Clear, concise text makes it a great tool. Thanks a bunch.
I love this book!
Reviewer: Bruce H. Satter (Miami, Florida)
When I first bought the Blackberry I was
deeply disappointed in the PDA aspects, as trying to figure out the
operational nuances was making me crazy! I was more than pleasantly
surprised at the incredible detail of the "Blackberry Made Simple"
language and not only got all of my questions answered, but learned
a lot about features I had never even thought about.
I love this book! Well worth many times the price to me.
And now I love my BlackBerry.
Big help!
Reviewer: J. Fiore (USA)
The book was a great help in getting me up
and going with the new BlackBerry very quickly. Clearly written, and much better
than the instruction manual. Clear graphics, and you're never left
in the dark about what to do or to do next. Highly recommended.
Your book has been invaluable. Thank you!
Reviewer: D. Gow (Australia)
I am a new user and had no idea how the blackberry was meant to be configured.
The BlackBerry Made Simple book has been a great source of tips and tricks!
I didn't know I could do so much with the BlackBerry.
I mean it's not like it comes with any of this information in a manual or anything!
So thank you once again - I love my new blackberry (now) and I love what
is commonly referred to by me as "Blackberry for Dummies" which
I am slowly working my way through.
Thanks for all your assistance. keep up the good work!
Very Useful Resource
Reviewer: J. Phillips, HR System Security, Occidental Petroleum Corp. (Texas, USA)
I recently ordered your "Blackberry Made Simple" e-book and find it a very useful resource. Thanks for publishing!
The eBook was great
Reviewer: Greg B. (USA)
The eBook was great.... I spent one afternoon, downloaded some software additions from
websites, added a Bluetooth keyboard and learned the ins and outs.
It really made the device a useful tool.
Very Useful Resource
Reviewer: R. Luke, Information Technology, Albany International (New York, USA)
The book is very good! I purchased both of versions since I support several Blackberry’s for our company.
