We have a story, about a phone being taken apart... And 2 pictures of said phone dismantled, both pictures show VERY LITTLE of the actual parts being talked about in said story above.
Furthermore clicking on the "read" link yields a few more pictures...of the back of a phone without its case, again, NOT showing us "keypad", "trackball" or "slide part" thats mentioned in said story above.

Why was this posted?

Show me some content thats relevant to the story, other wise, lets just talk about the back of a phone and show some pics and call it a day.]]>Oct 31st 2008 10:25AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/31/t-mobile-g1-ripped-to-shreds-uses-same-trackball-as-rims-ma/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/31/t-mobile-g1-ripped-to-shreds-uses-same-trackball-as-rims-ma/

Before I actually submit this, I read through the passage of the article in question. It reads,

"The structures of the trackball module and the Hall IC look almost the same as used in the BlackBerry Bold of Research In Motion Ltd (RIM)," the engineer said.

Point 1 - The article doesn't says the G1 trackball *looks* *almost* the same. This does not mean "is identical".

Point 2 - The engineer says it is physically comparable to the Blackberry Bold, not RIM in general.

Before someone asks why I'm getting my panties in a wad, I don't appreciate misleading information, and many might say the trackball experience sucks sometimes on a Blackberry Pearl. So far I've had a very pleasant experience with the G1 and find it much more smooth and responsive than the Pearl. To go and blurt out that the two parts are one and the same is sloppy and poor work.]]>Oct 31st 2008 10:46PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/31/t-mobile-g1-ripped-to-shreds-uses-same-trackball-as-rims-ma/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/31/t-mobile-g1-ripped-to-shreds-uses-same-trackball-as-rims-ma/Oct 31st 2008 11:14PM
