What do you think of the thumb-wheel on the Blackjack?
To me it's not nearly as nice as on the RIM devices I've tried. Or maybe my Blackjack has a problem - it just isn't as smooth as it needs to be. And it seems to need a lot of "spinning" for relatively little movement...
What do other Blackjack owner s think of its thumb-wheel?
I think it works well enough, but I definitely find myself holding the down arrow to scroll through large pagers rather than using the wheel.
I'm a total noob to smartphones here. The wheel doesn't scroll the page like a mouse wheel like I originally just assumed it would. It goes click by click from link to link so the only way I could see improving on it would be to make the clicks a bit closer together so you can go through more links on one scroll. If there are no links then it just reverts to normal scrolling.
I don't like the feel of the wheel when you push it in to select something. I slip on it and scroll up or down a notch when I try to click some times and I would doubt that I'm the only one with the issue.
