if you had them remove the trackball it should, the magnets should still read, and I imagine the pressure sensor would have to still work

I'll get Verizon to foot the bill, since I would test it on their BB that I've got.

Hmmm....I would need more info on how the seal happens - if it is TRUELY watertight........MY concern would be heat dissipation.........also once those covers come off the Berry the warranty is......ummmm.....BURNT TOAST.

I saw that Pearl sitting in the water in the video. I wonder, like wabbit, how it might affect the trackball. Looks very interesting. This guy stands to make some serious loot. Lots of organizations that might have good use for waterproofing stuff. Military, law enforcement, residents of Atlantis.
