Is there any plans for Blackberry trackball support?

The trackball is the white thingy in the middle of this picture, and is a standard on Blackberry models except the new touchscreen models:

Playing games on the Blackberry where 0-9 is the only usable keys can get very hard for the user cause of the key placement. (See above pict).

I suppose Blackberry trackball status events added to the MobileUtilities object?

I found some documentation for the trackball.

If we could add this method of control. Trackball rolling left, right, up, down? It would be great.

Heh, that's the problem with java mobile...

We need a more versatile solutions for things like this trackball, the HTC wheel present in some devices, that also contains buttons for up/down/left/right and select (in the middle).

there's also the nokia softkeys, a lot of sony ericsson buttons, motorola's non-standard side keys

You get the point...

We need some easy way to map keypresses, instead of relying on developers or clickteam to do it. This will overwork them, and create many extensions - one for each device - and those may end up conflicting with each other, not to mention increasing the size of the app.

I'll have a look at it. Thanks.
