CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition



If you want to learn about computers and have no prior experience, this is an excellent place to start. If you are studying for your A+ certification, stay away from this book. For over a 1000 pages of material, its ridiculously light on real material. To make matters worse, the “practice exams” have questions that were not covered in the book. Mike Meyers is an absolute joke.

This book is almost 10 years old and so much has changed. Not only did I fail my first attempt at the Remote Tech 603 exam, this book did not include the CD that comes ith these book in the back. It would be nice to know how out dated the book if and whether it contains all of the material that is suppose to some with it. I’d really like to send this right bok and get my money back because of the incomplete order!!!!

Picked up the Blackjack a few weeks ago and must say it’s a solid little SOB. As you’ll read the matte finish makes it feel really nice in your hands. I like the jog wheel a lot too even though it’s not adjustable (yet). The phone looks and acts a lot like the Q but the slimmer profile is noticeably better to work with.
The menu’s and layouts are well planned and like all my previous Smartphones it has the same basic sub-menus and categories. WMP10 is a lot nicer then 9 was and when you pop in a MicroSD card (which can be hard to get it in without long fingernails) it asks if you’d like to find media. BT stereo works flawlessly with my HT820 for music but watching a hi frame rate movie was a little chunky. I need to try a lower frame rate with BT to see if it makes a difference.
So far I’ve been using almost non-stop and the battery was only half full. I’m sure it’ll take a lot of charging but hey with two batteries and an external charger I can make it work. Might even turn the external charger into a little “backpack” with straps or Velcro to give me a longer out of office time. So far the 3G work awesome (when I’m in it!) and just screams through mobile web pages.
Sadly in my current apartment I do not get signal (metal roof and siding), I have to step outside in order to receive/send voice calls
. I will be moving here in the next month or so and can only hope I will be able to get reception in my house; otherwise the signal strength is great.
Positives:
0. HSDPA is fast and solid
1. QVGA landscape great for web and media
2. XM radio totally rocks!
3. Keyboard layout is highly functional (but does not come without cons)
4. BT stereo works really well
5. Built in Task Manager and Piscel Viewer
6. JAVA download app
7. Nice external speaker
8. Hot swappable Tflash
9. Jog button
10. Battery life and Extended included
11. 1.3 mega pixel camera
12. Overall size and feel
Negatives:
0. Center nav button to close to end and call
1. No push to talk feature.
2. No WiFi on this phone; damn you T-Mobile dash!
3. The 1-0 (zero) QWERTY keys don’t have any special feel to them. A tiny bump on each would by nice. However I don’t drive and talk at the same time so not that big of a problem.
4. Applications must be ended in Windows Task Menu to free up memory.
I’m very satisfied with this phone and would recommend it to any business people and students who want an all around practical phone with a lot of usability.

The book is great… I gave a bad review b/c of amazons way of charging me 6 dollars to read the book online when I never saw any print about that… I didn’t want to pay for that, and there is no way they going to let me get out of paying it. I would recomend this boook to any one intersted in A+ certification, however buy the book from anyone outside of amazon.
