ecause you're reading this book, you probably have a BlackBerry Storm
(and we're pretty sure that you're not eating it). We're just curious,
though — what convinced you to buy this particular smart phone? Was it the
touch screen? Was it the always-connected e-mail? The multimedia player to
replace your iPod or iPhone? Or was it the really good sales pitch? We know;
the list could go on and on — and we might never hit on the exact reason you
got yours. For whatever reason you got your BlackBerry, congratulations;
you made an intelligent choice.
The same smarts that made you buy your BlackBerry Storm are clearly at it
again. This time, your intelligence led you to pick up this book, perhaps because
your intuition told you there's more to your BlackBerry Storm than meets the eye.
Your hunch is right. Your Storm can help you do more than you supposed.
For example, your BlackBerry is a whiz at making phone calls, but it's also a
computer that can check your e-mail and surf the Web. We're talking World
Wide Web here, so the sky's the limit. Help is always at your fingertips rather
than sitting on some desk at home or at the office:
✓ Need to check out the reviews of that restaurant on the corner?
✓ Need to know — right now — what's showing in your local movie the-
aters, or what's coming in the weather tonight, or what's the best place
to shop the sales?
✓ Need to know your current location and get directions to that cozy bed-
and-breakfast, or retrieve news headlines, or check stock quotes?
✓ Want to do some online chatting or view some pictures online?
✓ Hanker to network with your old classmates?
