A bit outdated

Being new to the world of Blackberries, I decided to pickup this book for some technical knowledge of the device. Unfortunately, in the world of technology, 3 years is a long time and much seemed not applicable to my Bold (9000). Many of the shortcuts were in the manual and some of them were not usable on the Bold. After the first couple of chapters I skimmed through and decided that maybe 1/3 of the book was relevant to what I was expecting. If you have an older Blackberry, perhaps you may find it useful but like other technical documents, 3 years old is just too old to keep up with the rush of new technology and new devices that pops up daily. *You may note that reviewers that gave the book high marks had reviewed the book close to its publication date.
