Not noticeable except at night when it's backlighted. I've taken a black sharpie to it but that rubs off. I could put a dab of clear nail polish on top of it but am wondering if there are other creative ideas out there??
That small of a dot bugs you? I hate to see what happens when you drop the phone...
nail polish will probably eat the paint off of the rest of the button. but you could take a sharpie, let it dry then put a VERY small amount of polish over it, i.e. to clear coat it.
4 of mine have done this, the paint rubs off the raised part of M as well. Only reason it hasnt done it with the 5th one is because I got it yesterday...im sure it will..yet another thing RIM is dropping the ball on.
My treo's did it all the time....I would put it face down at times and rubbed off.....he could do that if the light bothers him..
To bring it back for normal wear and tear is a bit much.
I actually just noticed this on my tour as well. I've havent had this one for very long but it is already wearing off. Not a big enough deal to bug me, but what does that mean for the rest of the keys in another 4 or 5 months. Do the curve buttons have a tendency to wear off within a year?
Mine is off of my curve 8330 I got in April....nothing else is wearing off and I had this on the beach, etc....
I wouldn't worry.
Edit: Esposito....NICE!
I read on here that to clear your trackball, put the phone upside down on a clean piece of paper and move it around. That's what did it to me. Sharpee didn't work and now I think I'm stuck with this dot there. Not too bad I guess, but it's annoying.
Is it worth paying $20+shipping which then requires to take the phone apart to change the keyboard which will void the warranty ... for a little thing like that?
