I have known about these people for a long time now, and have purchased parts from them in the past.
They have real pearl parts for very reasonable prices.
For instance a pearl mechanism for $13.99!!
8100Parts

Can they REALLY be OEM for that price?!?!?!? I just forked over 42.00 for a trackball!!!! Are they used???

That's way too much money for just the trackball... Did you lose it or was it just dirty?

It was so dirty I was embarrased. I use the device VERY heavily on a daily basis. I am so dependant on it I was scared to take it apart to try and clean it without having a back-up. The other cheaper site was back-ordered so I bit the bullet. I have tried everything to clean the old one (it's sqeaky clean) but is still very dark and dull. I have a few other things that I want to try but no-one seems to be able to return it to white or something close to it once it has gotten dirty. I am now cleaning the new one weekly with a q-tip and alcohol. Holding up well so far!

Yeah, I did not realize how dirty my trackball looked until I compared it to my friends Pearl today (She got hers yesterday). I have not cleaned it in about 2 months, I think its time!lol.....

In the past I picked up slvr parts, they were OEM and new. Recently I bought a pearl keyboard at the same time I bought a front glass for another blackberry and everything was new and oem.
By the way I am not affiliated at all with this place, they are out in china.
I just wanted to make a point that all the other places that I have encounted have been gouging us....these guys are reasonable and reliable.....

mmmm I was all ready to order from them but they dont have a replacement battery cover release button :(

email dennis and see if he will carry it, wouldn't hurt to try asking.

I wonder if there is anywhere you can get the T-mobile white covers?

Just a battery cover or the entire case in white? I purchased a white battery cover on ebay a while back. I haven't seen the the entire case available, though.
