Summary: congratulation
Review: A very knowledgeable book. After reading it you'll have an excellent overview of GPRS. Mr. Heine uses a lot of pictures and tables which illustrates the informations very well.

Summary: Good overview, but way too pricy
Review: As the review says, this is actually a powerpoint presentation compiled into a "book". And as a compendium of slides, it is actually pretty good, provides a quick overview and leaves you with a good impression of what GPRS is all about. But do not expect more than an overview, as a reference it is not nearly detailed enough. If the price had been 40$ I would recommend it wholeheartedly, but 373$ is too expensive, to put it mildly.

Summary: Do not buy this
Review: It is obvious that Mr. Heine is knowledgalbe about GSM and GPRS. However this "book" does not come close to explaining the concepts of the GPRS technology. Much time, (and your money) are wasted on a review of GSM, which is covered very well in his previous book. I realize these are powerpoint slide reproductions but there is no effort made to include extra explainations as would be included in a well prepared powerpoint document. It seems as if Mr. Heine is trying to capitalize on the sucess of his prior GSM book by throwing this loose compilation of pages together and calling it a reference book.
