    My wife spilled some water in the car and the front of my Curve got slightly, and I mean very slightly, wet. I immediately dried it off and everything works fine ... except I can no longer use the trackball to click on things ... I can use the enter key, but it is a drag. I've never taken my Curve apart before ... Is there a way to fix this?

    try buying a replacement trackball, when you replace it use compressed air and blow it out while the trackball is out, to be safe turn your BB off, remove the batt and place in the sun for a few hours. If water is still hiding somwhere while on you could have more issue, you will need a special T5 screw driver to take apart the BB completely.

    You can also stick the blackberry in a bowl of uncooked rice. The rice will absorb most, if not all, the water that is in the phone. Just leave it in there for a day or two to be safe.

    The rice trick works very well
