Worth a read

I bought a 7130e and stumbled around for a few days trying to tweak it as a Palm replacement. Morrison's book is clear, informative and not superficial. It accelerated my productivity on the Blackberry immensely. It is a basic book though, so it doesn't go beyond what a solid manual would have covered. So there are still a few areas that I don't understand well. Also, while there are some tips on workflow, more would be welcome. When Morrison talks about more than just the function of the controls, but rather how to put customizations into workflow, the book becomes more valuable.
