Trackwheel a bit stiff

[Eric5273]

I just got my 7100g. I have never had a Blackberry before, but have used several floor models in stores in the past. Compared to the ones I have used, the trackwheel on my device feels rather stiff. It doesn't just scroll back and forth, but requires a tiny bit of pressure to do so or else my thumb just slides off of it. It's not terrible, but seems a bit tiresome, If I was doing a lot of navagating, my thumb would probably get tired. Is this something that will loosen up over time or is this a defective unit?

Should loosen up over time. Mine has.

Go view a web page on it. That'll break it in.

It has loosened up a bit since I bought it. Still not as loose as I would like, but I've only had it 2 weeks now. I still find it a bit difficult to play a game like brickbreaker. My thumb will tend to slide off the wheel sometimes instead of turning it.

Mine really loosened up after 2.5 weeks.
