Default Bold with black trackball & bezel

Please Login to Remove!

Here are a couple of photo's of my bold with my new black trackball. I installed the bezel and buttons a few weeks ago, but just received my trackball yesterday.

It's like a stealth bold!

Did you get the black OEM trackball from cnn.cn or use a G1 trackball?

How is the feel compared to the stock Bold trackball? Any less gritty?

Thanks for the pics, I was wondering what it was going to look like. My black trackball is on the way from cnn.cn as we speak. How does it look in the dark, does any light peek out around the outside of the trackball, sorta like an eclipse?

It's the 8900 OEM trackball. It popped up on eBay and I picked it up from there. I was going to get it from cnn.cn, but they were out of stock.

The 8900 trackball from cnn.cn will work fine, they are the same size.

It was easy to install. The video installation on cnn.cn pretty much sums it up. As long as you have the correct screwdriver and a small pointed prying tool to pop open the clasps on the trackball housing you will have no problem installing it. Took about 5 mins (but I have opened my Bold at least a half dozen times by now so it is getting easier each time <g>)

Very nice !

Do you still have the light effect or is it masked by the black trackball ?
