Good reviews are rolling in

Last week, three prominent mobile technology bloggers gave thumbs up to my “Nokia Smartphone Hacks” book. Right in time for the holiday shopping season! Thanks guys!

Carlo Longino wrote on MobHappy: Nokia Smartphone Hacks is something of a misnomer as a title — a better one would be “the manual Nokia should have included with your phone”. The tools and tips included in Michael Yuan’s book may not be hacks in the most traditional sense of the word, but they will help you wring every last bit of usefulness out of your phone.

Darla Mack wrote in her Mobile Diva blog: After browsing through the pages I came to the conclusion that this, in addition to the standard user manual, is a definate must have for users that want to get the most out of their “smartphone” … Within the pages are hacks, tips, software and anything you can think of to get the most out of your Nokia. Software recommendations are provided, and even sites of interest

Nokia’s very own Charlie Schick wrote in his Cognections LifeBlog: The book is not so much a cookbook with recipe-style instructions like the ‘101 Techniques’ book, but focuses more on explaining in prose format many interesting things one can do with one of these Nokia ’smartphones’ … The book is clearly written for someone who wants to do more than just understand how to use the phone. Sounds like the O’Reilly crowd to me.

Now, virtually everyone who reviewed the book wished the book to be included in Nokia’s phone box since it is truely a “missing manual”. :) Nokia, are you listening?
