trackball

[rgraham1]

I am moving from a Nexus One to the Mesmerize.

The one thing I miss on the Mezz is the trackball that I have on the N1.

It is more difficult to edit or move the cursor into tight spaces on the screen without a trackball.

Does anyone agree?

I moved from a blackberry to the mesmerized and while having the trackpad there was nice...I find the other spectacular features this phone offers trumps the fact that there is no trackpad. There are times when I hit the wrong link by mistake but I haven't had any actual navigation troubles.

I find that when browsing the web, I do tend to zoom in more before clicking on links, just to make sure I have the right link clicked. That was my workaround from no longer having the BlackBerry Tour trackball.

While typing, I found that the Swype keyboard has arrows and other keyboard functions (Swype from the menu button to the Sym button). I can then move around a document pretty quickly one character/line at a time. Also shows buttons to select text, copy, paste, page up/down, top and bottom.

SwiftKey keyboard also has arrow keys for moving around (go to numeric, then symbols). I'm not sure about other keyboards. I mostly use Swype, and it seems to have the most navigation options as part of its keyboard.

While having had a trackball on the BB Curve, it's nice that there's no worry on my Mesmerize getting dirt and grime stuck underneath a ball. Not to mention that the touchscreen for the Mez is far more responsive and accurate than the Samsung Delve--which is the whole reason I bought a BB.

Quite honestly I don't miss anything from my bb. Mail seems to come faster, can compose messages almost as fast with swype, way more customization, and widgets widgets widgets! I love being able to customize my phone the way I want! Also, having also used iphone in the past,i can honestly say that do far there has not been one app that ive done a search for where I have not found what I needed. Maybe not the same app I had on ios but everything ive needed so far
