Do You Want To Change The Color Of Your BlackBerry Pearl or 8800 TrackBall?

by Robb Dunewood on February 26, 2007 · 14 comments

BlackBerry Forums member SanFrancisco has posted a detailed walk-through on how to change the color your BlackBerry Pearl or BlackBerry 8800 trackball complete with pretty high quality photos showing you exactly what to do.

This mod isn’t exactly like tricking your BlackBerry 8700 out in 18K gold, however, is pretty cool all the same.

If we get permission we will update this post with a picture of the finished product, however, if you really want to see it, you can check it out here.

Excuse me for being off topic, but does anyone know where I can get that theme for a 8800, not a pearl? Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

ok this might seem scary to some but all you have to do is stick a needle or push pin between the right left and bottom of the silver part in the middle. pop open – take out – put a square of colored lense from cheap 3d glasses over the light keep steady put ball in put silver ring back over in and click closed its soo easy just be gentle mates.

do not use a sharpie or a soldering iron it will void your warranty

duh

I tried the marker trick and practically destroyed my trackball and almost my BlackBerry. I gave up on that and ordered a colored trackball online (BlackBerryTrackball.com). It makes my phone look awesome and was so easy! I’d definitely recommend buying over trying to do it yourself!
