just curious. I'm rockin an 8525and the track wheel is amazing. even though its on the left side, its very easily accessible. how's the track ball?

the ball is just fine. Very convenient to use. I find myself using the home/end/page up/down keys a lot more when reading text, surfing, etc but for navigating, the ball is great.

I did not like the pearl navigation personally as I thought it was way too sensitive. I loved the phone otherwise and would have kept it if it was 3G and QWERTY.

It took some getting used 2, but I've grown to really like the trackball...even more than the scroll wheel.

i only tried it for a few mins but initially did not like it. IMHO the rocker on the Wizard has been the best navigation for any phone ive had. but its too low on that phone. the rocker on the jaq3 looks good.

Love the trackball. Its very easy to use and just much more user friendly then the wheel!

ditto. Better than any trackwheel I've ever used IMHO (including the blackjack). I can also type slightly faster with the BB suretype than QWERTY phones like the Treo 650 or the Blackjack I had.

Same here but for the home screen navigation I love the ball better!

For those that are complaining about the sensitivity of the trackball, you can change it under settings.

I like the track wheel better then the track ball. I like the size of the pearl alot more then the 8700 so im a happy to sacrifice.
