Okay, so i know that re-housing it does, and am guessing that replacing the trackball does as well, but just wanted to find out for sure.

[Tremortality]

They have no way of knowing (if it is replaced with a white tb of course). I think you are reading about folks doing it with the bold - seeing as I dont have a bold there might be a way to tell if that has been opened? I dunno, with a curve I dont see how anyone could tell...... Lets see what the official gurus say......

[SevereDeceit]

Yes, it does void the warranty technically but you can't tell with the trackball, just keep the old one if you need to turn it in, takes every bit of 10 seconds to replace...

[chelseytx]

actually, i havent read anything

i figured it did because it was taking the thing apart.

[amazinglygraceless]

No. It absolutely doesn't. You aren't opening the case so you
are safe.

[chelseytx]

kk. it looks fine when the light is off, but i want to puke when the light comes on.


..
oo

are safe.

Yes this makes sense to me

[SevereDeceit]

See, i always was told it did. I never confirmed it though cause I change mine and was like, their never gonna know...

[chelseytx]

kk. i may have to get a pink one now.. gotta match the phone

[amazinglygraceless]

SD, I have changed them and have done 2 warranty exchanges
and was told as long as the case is not opened the warranty
remains intact.

[chelseytx]

how often do yall end up replacing you balls (*G* - sorry - just HAD to!)

Awesome, glad to know that...

[chelseytx]

okay, just ordered two off of ebay for less then 10 bucks. alas, the pink one will have to wait.

[Kaylajoy21]

My understanding is that it does void the warranty as you are using something other than what came with your phone.

As SD pointed out, you could just put your old trackball in

[amazinglygraceless]

The way this was explained to me was that it is considered a user
replaceable part and therefore has no effect on the warranty.
Same as the battery, battery door, screen cover. As long as the
phone has not been opened the warranty is fine.

[chelseytx]

okay, so what am i going to need to do this correctly.


correctly being the operative word here peeps.

Spoke with CS just a few ago "It will not void the warranty" emailed my friend @ RIM just for the heck of it - "it should not void the warranty, they wont/cant ever know anyhow" so as already covered in the thread.

My personal advice still stands, they will never know, they cant - if its white. As AG stated if the phone is never opened then the warranty stays intact.....
