There are a lot of blackberrys listed as being compatible with this, however it just looks like some one copied the popular blackberry devices without looking to see if it really works in them. I’m sure it works for some, however until the item description is updated I’d suggest either staying away or doing some more research.

This Trackball replacement worked perfectly in my BlackBerry 8330 Curve. I had lost the ability to scroll left and right so attempted to take apart the trackball to clean it, with marginal results that resulted in intermittent functionality. After some quick checking, this replacement trackball looked like my best option since my “self help” fix attempt failed, and it definitely was.
Pros:
+ Inexpensive
+ Easy To Install
+ Nice Color (mine is green)
Cons:
- No Instructions Included (easy enough to figure out though)
Misc:
* A nice carry pouch was included with my order
This replacement trackball restored my BlackBerry to full functionality and likely saved me the trouble of replacing the whole unit or having to take it to a Sprint store for service.
I have an 8820 and needed a replacement trackball. It wasn’t imperative but mine got dirty..I ordered the blue one and was really excited to use it. It’s complete crap. I don’t know if it’s sensitivity or whatever.. but the stupid things doesn’t scroll down properly.. and when you try to roll it more.. it stops! I thought it was my specific phone so I used it on an 8800 and a 8310.. guess what? the same thing happened. It’s absolutely NOT worth shipping back to waste additional money on the stupid thing. The idea of a blue trackball was nice but it’s worthless. I have now gone back to my old, dirty white ball as it is WAY more effective than the blue one.

Seriously, don’t waste the money.

it was broken when I got it and didn’t even work for the phone. it wasn’t worth the shipping to return the damn thing.

Looks great. Especially for you TERMINATOR fans. The backlight makes it glow and it works perfectly.
