Does anyone know if there has ever been a true fix for the horizontal trackball issue on the BB Tour 9630? I have read countless blogs about customers getting "quick-fixes" and/or replacement phones ("Green Dot" phones, etc.) only to have the same problem occur. I have also tried the fruitless changing of the trackball sensitivity settings and even the pathetic "roll the ball across a white piece of paper" trick.
I'm reasonably sure that there is no fix, unless a second wave of phones have been manufactured with actual hardware changes to the ball and friction points (ie., the ball actually touches the friction points when it is rolled horizontally--that would be a novel touch). It is really getting on my nerves now that I have lived with it for a number of months. If this is how BB addresses a major screw-up in manufacturing, then the iPhone is looking better and better to me....
