Is there a 'Dummies' book to help me with Series 60 smartphones?

Q. Despite Nokia's pretty good manual and despite me surfing a number of popular web sites, I'm still struggling with the Series 60 interface and get confused easily. Isn't there a 'Dummies' book for people like me?

A. Symbian produced a short booklet 'Smartphones for Dummies' in 2004, although this covered all Symbian OS devices and didn't really go into the depth you need. Of roughly the same length but geared specifically for your device is this ebook available free on the Internet. You can download it from 3lib.ukonline.co.uk/dummies.htm . If this doesn't answer all your questions, try contacting Steve, as ebooks are far easier to add to than the paper variety!
