Customer Reviews

Great guide to use of the Storm
This is a very good and near complete review on the workings of the Storm and how to navigated through it effectively. Loaded with plenty of tips and shortcuts. I recommend it especially for those new to smartphones and the Storm.

Blackberry Manual
If you have a storm, it's a easy book to learn all the things you probably don't know about the unit.

Great source of info for Storm users
I downloaded the ebook version and found it has a great source of useful information for all Storm owners from the newbie to the experienced. The Storm is such a new phone that many of my friends have been strugling to learn all the ins and outs of the device. I found this to be a good place for them to learn how to operate and customize their new phone. I highly recommend this book to any Storm owner or future owner.
Even though I downloaded the ebook version I will most likely buy the printed version as I prefer a physical book over ebooks.
