    I was womdering, the pearl has the cool color trckball app. What is it that let's the pearl change the color, but not the curve. Is it just the os or does it have to do w/ different hardware as well.

    Blackberry alerts will allow you to change the colour of your LED indicator on the Curve models.

    You can still do it if you are brave enough to take your BB apart. But other than that, the 8100 is the only model that has a regular color changing trackball.

    Actually, I just checked on the bbalerts, and the color change feature is only supported on the 81xx, and 88xx.

    I didn't understand why they never added such a cool little feature to the Curve?

    Its not a huge deal to me personally, but still nice to have the option. If the only way to change the color is crack your berry open? Not worth the hassle.
