Well I decided to buy this item and let me tell you this. Those who are on the fence about it, BUY IT. It's so cheap to buy that you have nothing to lose. All the times I spent on cleaning the assembly was just a waste of time. It's been a few months but so far my phone still feels new.
The economy has been rough lately so the company is really watching the bottom line. Staff reductions, pay cuts...they're only emptying the trash twice a week now and I've noticed a lower grade toilet paper in the restroom. My boss has been all over me about my expense reports ever since that massage parlor incident in Tijuana so there was no way I was going to slip a new 8800 past him.
What was I to do? I certainly wasn't about to spend my own money on a new BlackBerry. I went back to my desk and while surfing the web and mulling over my options I stumbled across a story about a guy who got a face transplant. A face transplant!? Can you believe it!? Holy Cow! They replaced his face...wait a minute... maybe I can just replace the TRACK BALL !!
But who could teach me the techno-surgical techniques of BlackBerry trackball replacement and where could I get a new one? The answer of course could be found on the internet. I know for a fact you can find anything on the internet.
People love to post helpful videos on Youtube. I am grateful for their wisdom and willingness to share. Let's see, removing pet stains from carpets, no. Replacing rear deck speakers in a Saturn SL, no thanks. Beijing Chicken Recipe, hmmm... Here it is... replacing the trackball in your BlackBerry!
Now to find the new trackball! In the dark ages of human interaction before the internet I could have driven around wasting gas and checking out every mall kiosk that sells those cheap plastic phone covers. But no more! I found this miraculous little pearl of a device right here on the internet and had it shipped to my home for a ridiculously low price. It took about one minute to pop out the old ball and pop in the new one.
Thank you Pearl Blackberry Trackball Joystick and Trim Rim Combination Replacement Set !!!
