The optical trackpad on the Blackberry 8520 does looks really good and looks like RIM has ditched the trackball for good.Look at the way the person scrolls so seamlessly on the 8520 in the Video below

Too bad the person is scrolling sideways and not downwards.
We have more pics from the india launch coming up . We are really excited about this new handset and should be reviewing it soon.
