It is akin to a trapped nerve and the arm spasming of its own accord.
I also bought a pearl at the start of the year online and had to return it to the seller as it developed the same problem as above.
Is it just me or is there a serial problem with the track ball mechanism?
cheers

The trackballs can get debris lodged in them. If you lock your keypad and the roll the ball while keeping it depressed in several directions. Do it a few times and it will start working correctly again.
You issue however is different. The behavior your described is normally encountered when the device is exposed to liquid or moisture. If that is the case it may be too late but here is a link if you do get your device wet.
