From eBay, I see that they sell the whole assembly for the trackball which includes that ring you are talking about.

For my Blackberry Pearl, the chrome part of the trackball assmebly is slightly cracked, but the trackball is still in place.

I'm quite sure that Low Yat, you will be able to find something there. I will check in Digital Mall if any. Will update if I find anything there.

This is basically what I need!

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I went to Low Yat during the long weekend, and found the original distributors for Blackberry. They have quoted me about RM300++ for the housing and trackball. But they need to reconfirm this with their HQ in Singapore.

Another retailer in LYP, quoted about the same as well.

Both of them said that they don't have the stock now. So, they would need to order the parts and thsi would likely take up to two weeks. Darn it. And I thought that they are producing AP sets for the Blackberry Pearl already, which would make finding parts for this set easy.

Just buy through ebay. Quite safe. If you need it urgently of course. Go to Crackberry.com and search. There are allot of members selling off some stuff there and there's also a step-by-step guide on how to change the faceplate, disassemble a whole blackberry etc. GOOD LUCK!!!

Note: Had a friend buy some accessories for my Curve like the Desktop Charger, Leather Holster, extra Faceplate and he shipped to me. Not bad pricing too. ehehehe.... More or less like ebay bro!

CHeers!

The original distributor is at Plaza Berjaya, their shop notes nothing about Blackberry but under Motorola. Anyways, their number is 03-21412330. They are apparently are acting as the collection centre for Blackberry phones. Stock comes in from Singapore.

As for the other one, their shop is part of the MANY phone shops, I've asked in LYP. They said that need to order as well. I'm not really confident about their little deal though, since I'm going to pay roughly about the same price as the original distributor.

Anyways, I've been trying to contact this guy who advertised an AP set 8100 Pearl, in Lelong.com, to see whether he has parts as well. I haven't gotten any reply yet. Will update if anything.
