    Sup guys ,I'm looking into changing the face plate for my 8330m I know I need a torx but what size should it be? I think its the six but just want to make sure. I know I only need one torx because I've seen the vids and for the procedure I'm doing there are only to srews involved and they would be in the top part of inner back piece. I also wanted to know of a track ball for the pearl would work on my phone. Because I just noticed my order said bb pearl and like 8310 or 8130 deviced. When I could have sworn it mentioned the 8330m being compatible with the track ball. Thank you people.

    The trackballs are "generally" usable. Also, I would reccomend a torx-5 - you can just buy a multi torx kit from home depot. it's cheap and it comed with 8 interchangable sizes!

    Thanks shacker. I had bought a six but I went back to sears and returned it for a 5.

    I remember reading somewhere that you'll need a Torx-5 and for the inside screws it was a Torx-6.

    Any 8100 Pearl, 83xx, or 8800 trackball and ring will work in your phone.
    The exterior rear screws are T-5's on the Curves.
