  • This will not ruin your blackberry.  I did it, and it does work. However, the color does fade after a few days of use, even using a sharpie. This guy even sounds unsure of himself no wonder you guys are doubting him. It will be fine do not use a knife like he did, simply use your thumbnail and start at the top...

  • 1:40 thats what she said lol

  • on the internet uhhh if you have original black berryuhh your lucky uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh uhh

  • the music sucks but alright video

  • Lol why would you color the led and ruin your phone like that?

    When i had a blackberry all i did was color a piece of scotch tape and stick it on the light.

    So i could actually change the colors when i want.

  • you should be a little more gentle guys see some other video the will eplain it more causisley

  • do u have to use a sharpe wat if u dont like the color cant u use a xpo marker? plz reply

  • what kind of marker should I use???

  • the 8100 uses a color pearl software.

  • does this work on a 8110 ?

    thank you !

  • thanks man this is a really easy thing to do 5*

  • i have a real pearl :D i was opening oysters in hawaii found one :D im not kidding if u dont believe i can really send u a pic. anyways the pearl is way to big to fit in there

    copper heats up way too easily.

  • i wasnt thinking before and i colored "the trackball" with a pernament marker. i made a little dot on it now the fuckin trackball looks like a tit! lol. do you know if this affects the phone at all or can i just color the rest of the trackball?

  • Bad idea xD.

  • not such a smart idea. good you warned people tho..

  • just get the program for it its called color pearl

  • wont work for the 8130

  • wont work with 8130

  • just use clear tap cut a super small peice and take the lil peace and color it i did blue then put it over the light sence the light is white it will shine blue then just put it on top put everything back together

  • so i could gently wipe it off if i don't like the color... or could i use a expo marker.

  • whats a beter pearl the 8100 or the 8120 or 8130

  • depends on what you want from your phone.

  • I'm not sure of doing this cuz ur screen is like blinking when u took it out

  • guys its really easy i did it and i am just 12 thanks man

  • hey wats the led???

  • The original pearl may have the colored LED's but they're not that great.

    In the original there's 4 LED's. They're placed in each corner of the trackball thing. When you place it to one color it only looks like one side of the trackball is lit up, not the whole thing.

    Plus, on the original pearl you can see through the rings so you can see the LED through the little gap and it kinda sucks.

    Doesn't light up well and doesn't cover the whole pearl.

    I like this vid though maybe I'll try it :)

  • duuudee!!! i would be peeing my pants if i jammed that ring in there so harshly..i mean it popped out a couple times..to me that would be like a monster popping out just when there is a relaxing scene in a movie.

  • what do you do if you get the colour on the copper part? how do you clean it?

  • This is a good vid and a good way to change the color of the trackball but colorpearl is so much easier and safer.

  • Colorpearl doesn't work on the 8120 or 8130. RIM changed the hardware, so the new pearl's don't have the colour-changing LED behind the ball, it's in the top right corner of the screen now. We newer pearl owners need to resort to this if we want to change the colour of the trackball.

  • Can you set a ringtone for the email? HElp please

  • SO what would you do if you get bored of that color and want a new one?

  • take a Q-Tip with some rubbing alcohol (NOT a lot) and then gently wipe the permanent marker off and then make it whatever new colour you want.

  • Damn! that was easy!! Thanks

  • Did it works awesome.

  • wtf just download "colorpearl" and it modifies your pearl and you can change the color of ur trackball without breaking it!!

  • to safaryanboyz, you can't download "colorpearl" for the 8130 pearl. rim who makes the software for the blackberry took out the colored leds on the trackball when they made the 8130 which is the newest blackberry pearl so nice try but u lose.

  • i don't get y people say it's so bad! it's a little dot on the led. i did it and my blackberry curves been working great!

  • lmao ! stupid ! people dont follow this ! youll break your phone !

  • what's wrong with your phone?

  • wow. It is SO safe yet your phone looks like its about to explode. the screen is flashing and short circuting! hahahaha

  • its actually the camera. have u ever noticed that when u face a camera at a computer screen or something, it flashes like that. i would explain with more detail but u dont seem intelligent enough

  • mintyfreshh12, are you dumb??

    and that's a serious question..

    btw, thanks todorovichat i colored mine red and now it's pink like my blackberry pearl.

    :)

  • why doesnt it work for the curve?

  • color pearl ONLY works for the 8100 look it up noobs

  • are you stupid? maybe if you watched the video before u comment then you would realize that it is a completely different method. it can be done on any blackberry. its people like you that make the human race look bad.

  • slippery fingers

  • just download it from colour pearl

  • do you know of the one for a telus 8130

  • Thanks a lot for the vid!

  • thanx. imma get a new white black berry soon. i wanna have a blue colored ball and all that. but idk if i should take the risk.

  • I did this and i accidentally got it on the sensor. screwed up my blackberry. be very carefull!

  • ahahaha, your an idiot...

  • i konw. . hahah

  • wtf ew perve

  • i have a question, does it work in the AT&T pearl 8110?

  • yes

  • i aint about take apart a $500 phone for a little color

  • its 20 dollars if you go with verizon xD

  • He is giving out some fucked up advice. As much as I paid for this fucking phone, you think im about to take it apart helllllll no!!!!!!!!!

  • if you think about it you had 2 choices in the beginning...GPS or multi-coloured pearl =P

  • ekkkk

  • I have the 8300 and my trackball is blue! very easy to do, you don't even have to worry about damaging anything if your careful

  • thankxs for dha video i had a red 1 but its all fucked up nd i changed my whole blackberyr 2 dis newwer1 i had but it had no trackball so i jus took the red 1 off nd put it in dha black 1lol...thanksz

  • Wrong, soudns pretty badass. This guys probably like 16.

  • your an idiot!

  • ROFLMAO!!!!! MY FRIEND JUST DID THIS BUT HE PAINTED IT BLACK NOW THE TRACKBALL JUST DONT HAVE A LIGHT HAHAHAHAHAHA ill punch him for all of you xD

  • LMMGDAO!!!! BWAH!!

  • i have a colored piece of tape by the light wil it melt?

  • Sweet Video. I have a curve and it was easy to do.... Thanks! :)

  • awesome video thanks! i needed this to clean the trackball tho. btw you sound EXACTLY like Jonah Hill

  • why don't you just download the "color pearl" app so you can change te color through the LED lighting.

    let me guess it a different model that doesn't have that LED type thus "color pearl" is useless. my advice buy the first BB pearl off of ebay and get the "color pearl" app that way you can keep changing the color as you please. If this were a bold than i could understand why but seriously no.

  • i used ur instructions and changed it 2 green...buh i want 2 change it 2 blue...does da color fade after a while??? or should i just use a cotton swab and erase the green and put in the blue??

  • use the cotton swab dude it doesnt really fade away

  • thanks man,just did my own,it's blue now.

    but you might want to advise viewers not to look into the led to long!

    btw why are all these a★★holes commenting.

    I did it,it works. If you don't have the device don't hate and drop dumb comments about getting a prog to change the color,it just makes you look stupid posting that.

    Do some research on what your talking about instead of making yourself look retarted in they eyes of people that do know s★★★

    Thanks again for the pro-tip

  • Your're so right :-D

  • actually, todorovichat, this is the fisrt comment ive posted on this page. I knew this all along. It just seems to me that its a little rediculous that people would go to such great lengths just to color their trackball. Its easier to just get an 8100

  • Just so everyone knows, the pearl 8100 is the only phone with colored lights behind the track ball. There is an app called ColorPearl that you can put on your pearl, but ONLY THE 8100!!! There are other apps too, but this one is very nice for its price (free). And taking apart your pearl in ANY WAY voids your warranty, so it's not too smart to take out the trackball and color it.

  • thank u for finally undersgtanding that the original pearl is the only pearl that has colored LEDs......
