Well, i would prefer trackpad.
So, trackpad.
You cannot change the trackpad out for a trackpad. If you want a trackball you need to get a Blackberry with a trackball such as a Tour 9630 or Curve 8330.
The Blackberry Curve 8530 features the newer trackpad instead of the older, fallible trackball. The original trackball was problematic and would get ruined by dust, dirt and food crumbs. It often needed to be removed to be cleaned. Many of them needed to be replaced in the past, which caused numerous owners to lose time and money. The new trackpad is simply a raised square that senses the movement of fingers across its screen. It is highly responsive and only needs to have fingerprints removed occasionally from its face. This certainly increases the user-friendliness of the Blackberry Curve 8530.
from owning a blackberry 9300 in the past i would say it has the worst trackpad!

I was also having some troubles with the trackball on my blackberry and came across this article which was very helpful: http://alboett.blogspot.com/2009/12/blackberry-pearl-how-to-clean-and.html. you out.
I lost my trackball/ it fell out and I have a bbm request is thee any way for me to accept it???
The 8700 is a bit more dated, and has a scroll wheel on the side, while the 8830 (World Edition) has the center-placed trackball.
All you have to do is hold in the e key and go up or down with you blackberry's trackpad or scrollerball.
Build quality is better on the 89 and has all round better feel, software is superior and the screen is higher res in appearance. The standard blackberry trackball is good but the touch pad on the 85 works really well, best to try them both out first.I prefer the 89 obviously
its the button next to the trackpad. the one with the blackberry symbol on it
