8310 Black trackball?

**chokem** · #1 01-02-2009 -

I read a thread by a fellow Stacker who "blacked out" his Bold, and used the black trackball from cnn.cn. He used an 8900 black trackball, I believe. Will this work in my 8310?

Yes, it just doesn't come with the plastic chrome colored ring, but will work in all trackball devices according to the cnn.cn site. I have see a pic of a curve with the black trackball as well

Edit: I'm getting ready to order one if you want to wait and let me be the guinea pig

azstar just curious as I have also been wondering whether or not to purchase this same trackball for my dear curve. Will the ring mount on the trackball? I mean can the chrome ring be placed above the trackball itself as it used to with the old trackball that they usually came with? I'm digging this new trackball because f the color as my housing is all black too

If my understanding is correct, yes, it still will require the chrome ring on your Curve. It doesn't come with one though since it is not use in the 8900.

I will be ordering one today, along with several more white ones as back-ups. So I won't be able to confirm the fit myself until they arrive.

C, if Im reading you question correctly, the black trackball comes with the trackball and assembly only-no ring. I believe you just use your existing ring that came on your curve-the trackball assy and ring are two seperate parts. Hope this answered you question-didnt mean to butt in Azstar.

**azstar** · #12 01-02-2009 -

It's your thread so I don't think it counts as butting in

Awesome! Thanks azstar and Glenn, Yes! that is correct. I hope it does fit. I'm gonna order one now toos...

you're more than welcome C. Azstar-just tryin to be polite (who said chivalry was dead)?

Im still waiting-no black trackball yet-hopefully Monday. You would think that they were shipping it from China or something...........oh wait, it IS coming from China!
