I heard before about a blog that was written by a guy about terrible problems that he was having with his Dell computer, which resulted in a huge reaction from others and eventually a reaction from Dell itself.
I am having a simple problem with my Blackberry, the rollerball is sticking. Ok, small problem but I can’t check texts, emails without spending ages repeatedly rolling and rolling and rolling.
Of course I popped into an O2 store who told me that there was a problem but it would have to be sent away for a week for repair. I have too much information on it and use it too much. I will probably be given a new one but you always end up with a huge pain in the backside of transferring contacts and losing some photos etc.
The friendly guy in the O2 store “off the record” suggested using a pin to poke out the rollerball and then use some cleaning materials on it. I failed miserably at my attempts to squeeze the rollerball out.
I should have known … I had the same issue with the previous model and still agreed to switch to this one!
I put my trust in a Google search to realise that loads or people are having the same problem – surely Blackberry know that this is a huge defect but are not dealing with it officially.
I have decided to switch to an iphone but as an experiment I am writing and tagging this blog to see if I get any reaction from Blackberry!
Blackberry are you listening to what is being said about your products online?
Let’s see !

My rollerball was sticking quite a bit the other day and just not working. Luckily it started working again.
So did you switch to iPhone or stay with Blackberry the newer phones no longer have the rollerball and are much more sensitive in movement from touch.

The supplier gave me a replacement even though I know it will cause me the same problem again. Abbey Communications were superb but I will definitely switch to an i phone soon,
