The trackball on the Blackberry is a unique and highly effective means of manoeuvring the many menus on the phone. For this very reason, if the trackball gets jammed or caked with dirt, it can be very frustrating to try and use the phone. Replacement parts are available as new accessories for the Blackberry Curve, Bold, and Pearl, as well as the newest Blackberry Tour 9630. These models all use the traditional trackball design.
If you find that your trackball is not responding as efficiently or as quickly as you would like, you can find a wide array of replacements, including different colored and styled trackballs for all different Blackberrys.
