In order for RIM to address the track ball issue, they'd have to let everyone having problems send in their unit, as it's a hardware problem and not asoftware problem. That just isn't going to happen, I would imagine.
You could swap out the Tour track ball with another one, but that will void your warranty.

I went through 3 Tours before I found one that had no problems. This one is good to go though and I'm lovin' it
For the LIFE of me, I cannot get a theme installed on it properly. I get the successfull installed message on the OTA install and it's even listed underinstalled Applications with permissions all set to allow; but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

They are sending new units with trackball issues. Take it to your store where you purchased it and address the problem, or give your carrier acall. I'm reading people went though 2-3 phones already and getting new 1s with no problem. I had mine for almost a week now, and mine seems fine.. have0 issues so far.Originally Posted by superblyTRIFE

Who is your service provider and what excuses are you using to get a replacement Tour?

Rogers Wireless in Canada will probably get it first in November.
I'm guessing T-Mobile or AT&T gets it a month after.

Did anyone else d/l the leak of the Desktop Manager for Mac? It's
so far, except that I can't back up my data yet.
I guess I'll just wait 'til the official one drops to back up data.

I'm with Sprint.
I've had legit issues with each one (screen flicker, trackball, call quality, etc.) so I wouldn't call them excuses really.
This all happened within the span of a week, so I went to the store that I made the purchase at and they gladly switched it out for me.
HEADS UP TO ALL TOUR OWNERS (BOTH SPRINT & VERIZON)
If you are having trackball-related issues with your device and are going in store to swap it out for anotherone, do the following to avoid a possible return trip:
Hopefully this helps some of you out that are having problems with your devices
- Request that the sales rep replace your Tour with one having a production date of mid-August or later. The production date is located on the upc label towards the bottom and it'll look something like this for example: "130809" which signifies a production date of August 13, 2009
- When they bring it to you and open the box to activate the device, have them take the battery cover off and locate a sequence of numbers in white printed vertically on the left hand side of the device. You'll notice 3 numbers in the middle. "004" means that it was part of the first batch and will likely have issues. "005" is the batch produced after the complaints were made, so any device with "005" on it will most likely be problem free.
Make sure you tell them that you spoke to a rep on the phone before you came in and that they're the one who informed you of this. Otherwise they'lljust give you whichever one they want.
hella handsome
