how do you remove the trackball without scratching the device?
I was scared to death of using a screwdriver or knife or anything sharp for fear of scratches so I just used my fingernail and it popped out. I don't have long fingernails but if you can get a tiny bit of leverage under the ring then slowly apply upward pressure and it'll pop out. Worked like a charm for me but the first time I took it out for a cleaning a few weeks back I snapped off one of the tiny clips. This time I was really careful and it came out just fine no problems or missing clips. Hope it works for ya.
Way cool. My daughter (Hot Rod Heather) wants flames on her razr.
What is the difference in the trackballs?
Nothing, just don't like having a dirty trackball so I replaced it with a new one. Tried to just clean it after reading up on all the posts here but I figured if I ordered a new one I'd at least have a backup.

Thanks! just one more thing, did you use 2 or 1 fingernail and where did you stick your finger nail? was it from the top? or the sides?
