woke up this morning and the pointer on my 8900 doesn't work...it goes in one direction, right, but not left. I looked on the blackberry site and they note that this has been an issue...they suggest it is similar to a "dirty" mouse and recommend that you move the cursor around quickly so the dirt may be dislodged. Tried this and now the pointer is not moving up or down accurately. Is there a way to clean the pointer? The only other option is to pay Blackberry $190 and see if they can fix it, or junk the one I have an buy a new one from T-Mobile. Any suggestions would be appreciated...
