CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Just What I Needed!
Reviewer: Dan S. (California, USA)

The Videos are just what I needed! Short, Concise and Relevant!

"Turns on the light" for features that are not readily intuitive! (Definitely Recommend)
Reviewer: Lou (Avid BlackBerry User) (USA)

The videos were very clear and informative (4.8 Stars out of 5). I would definitely recommend these videos - even if that person had been using the BlackBerry for some time. There is information in the videos that "turns on the light" for features that are not readily intuitive. Even those who are computer literate may not find all the features offered by the BlackBerry. The support for the BlackBerry has been excellent. Thanks!
I am using my BlackBerry to communicate through the aircard feature (a modem for my Laptop). The speed is very acceptable. As far as specific new thing I learned were: quickly paging up and down the e-mails, changing settings, and similar functions. The new tips & tricks items were so wide spread, it is hard for me to nail down exactly which pieces I picked up.

Easy to Follow...Learned A Lot (Recommend)
Reviewer: Nicky (USA)

I am finding them useful and easy to follow. I just started reviewing the videos yesterday, but have learned a lot already... I'm pleased my organization signed me up for the tutorials. I would recommend them to others.

Right Length and Simple to Understand (Definitely Recommend)
Reviewer: Bob L. (USA)

I would rate all of the videos that I have viewed as "5 star". The site is real easy to use, the videos are just the right length, and they are real simple to understand.

I would definitely recommend them to others, particularly people who have had no prior experience with blackberry devices.

Short & Sweet! (Recommend)
Reviewer: Sandy (USA)

“The videos are short, sweet, and to the point. Great idea!
I would rate them a 5 of 5 stars and I would recommend them to others."

Very Easy to Follow! (Recommend)
Reviewer: B. H. (USA)

Very easy to follow, concise instructions.
I would recommend the videos to others, they are beneficial. 
I know guys love to discover, but the videos were a great map to the tools I need. I am planning on reviewing the videos again, just to refresh my memory on less used features.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does BlackBerry Made Simple do?
We help people and organizations learn to be much more productive with their BlackBerry handhelds while saving time and money.  We do this primarily with our library of short training videos.  (See video samples here)  Our videos are all "short and to the point" (most just 3-5 minutes long), enjoyable and describe the best tips and tricks in "plain English."   For those who prefer to read, we offer e-books and printed books.  (See books...)

Will the Videos save us time and money?
Yes.  Videos are the most cost-effective way to train your BlackBerry users.  You will save money by not paying for  expensive trainers or web-training and save even more money by not having to train or hire more help desk staff.

Will the Videos reduce calls to our help desk?
Yes.  Many users will learn all the basics and advanced tips & tricks by watching the videos.  And, what's even better, if they have a question, then can use the keyword search feature to pinpoint and answer their question without every calling your help desk.  The BlackBerry user is happier because they answered their own question.  Your help desk is happier because they have fewer "HOW TO" calls from users.

Why Videos instead of live or web training?
1. Videos are 50-90% more cost effective.
2. Videos are available 24 x 7, unlike live or web trainers.
3. The quality of the videos is consistently high, unlike variable live or web training courses.
4. Videos are self-paced and can be re-played any time.
5. Videos are 100% keyword searchable - great refreshers.

How many customers do you have?
We host the videos for tens of thousands of users.  Our customers have enjoyed the 99.9%+ up time of our video servers.

Do you offer discounted pricing for non-profits, government and educational institutions?
Yes.  We do.  Please click here to calculate your discounted price.

What format are the videos?
They are in Adobe FLASH format when viewed on the computer and they are in 3GP format when viewed on the BlackBerry.

Can the videos be watched on both Windows^TM and Apple Mac^TM computers?
Yes!  Since they are in Adobe FLASH format, you can watch them on any computer's web browser.

Do you keep up to date with new BlackBerry releases?
Yes.  We release new videos very shortly after major new BlackBerry models are released.  We have added approximately 100 new videos in the last 12 months.
Note: Major BlackBerry releases have resulted in between 40-60 new videos being added to the library.

Can we watch these videos on our BlackBerry Handhelds?
Yes - Coming Soon.  We are beginning this conversion process and hope to have the 88xx, 83xx (Curve^TM) and 81xx (Pearl^TM) video library converted over to be viewable on these model BlackBerry Smartphones by Summer 2008.   Please specify in the quote comments section if you are interested in this option or contact us directly via email.  info @ blackberrymadesimple dot com.

Will the BlackBerry-viewable videos cost more?
Pricing will be the same for videos whether you choose to view them on your Computer or your BlackBerry.  You can buy access to both by paying a slight premium over each individually.

Can we customize which videos our users can watch?
Yes.  You tell us which BlackBerry models, topics, or individual videos you want to remove from the menu system.  (Additional charges may apply).

Can I see the license agreement?
Yes.  Request our site license agreement via email to learn more.

Can we request new videos be developed by you?
Yes.  If we deem that these videos will be useful for our entire user base, then these videos will be created at no additional cost to you. 
If you request these videos only be for your own internal use ("Custom Videos"), or we deem that these videos will not be useful for all our customers, then we will charge you a project-based cost to develop them.  You will own a perpetual license to these videos and can use them indefinitely.

Is your pricing based on total users or concurrent users?
Our pricing is based on the total number of BlackBerry users in your organization that could access the videos.  If you have a special circumstance, then please note that in the quote form.
