My trackball on my 8100 pearl stopped scrolling up. I tried pulling it out and cleaning it, to no avail. I was a little suspicious whether this would fix the problem, but it did. It looks and fits just like OEM. It was pretty easy to install: just pry under the silver ring around the trackball, and the ring pops out. Then pry the smaller silver ring out, and then pop the trackball assembly out and pop the new one in. Not for those that are very technologically faint of heart -- but no harder than, say, adding memory to a computer. Google "blackberry trackball" and people have picture tutorials. I am just glad I did not have to get a whole new blackberry to fix the problem.

I researched having my trackball replaced in NYC and it was about $100. The other alternative was buying a new blackberry $200+.

It is so easy to remove the old trackball and replace with this part; literally two pieces. It is like having a new phone.

I realize most of the reviews have been positive, but my experience with these trackballs has proved quite disappointing. I ordered two; one did not work at all, and the other, while it worked, proved to be terribly slow in scrolling speed. I had no choice but to reinstall the original trackball. The ball itself is discolored and the performance is a bit sloppy, but nevertheless it's still far superior to these. I'm going to see if I can get original BlackBerry trackballs, even if they cost more.
