I have a blackberry pearl 8120 for t mobile and the ball wont scroll down at all, which i really don't care but i cant find a way to take my fave 5 off my home screen, i always accidentally call my grandma lol.
Can someone tell me how to scroll down on my menu w/out using the ball?
You should be able to hit a letter on your qwerty keyboard, and it will highlight whatever option in your menu that starts w/that letter.
Also search the threads for track ball cleaning. place your phone on a stack of papers with the track ball facing down. Then with gentle pressure that is just hard enough to depress the TB roll it around. Also you can buy replacements cheap or if your device isn't very old some carrier stores will replace them for you.

You can scroll down using your space bar, then scroll back up to where you want to be.

Clean Your Trackball Its very easy! Just Youtube it! Just be careful not to break the little clips on the ring that holds in your track ball! There are 3 clips
When my trackball gets stuck you I ussilly click real hard and scroll at the same time while holding it down usually does the trick

Use a Q-tip with windex to quickly clean the track ball. (Make sure it doesn't drip) But on your 8120 it's very easy to replace. You can get 1 here: HorizonWirelessOnline.com - Horizon Wireless, The World’s Cellular Repair Center �
I had the same problem, and wound up pulling my ball out and cleaning it/the sensor on the phone. I broke one of the three clips though, so now I have tape holding the ball in:( Don't want to buy a new one, since I'm hoping to get a 8900 soon
