Try This

Try this: Set the trackball sound to Click(Options>Screen/Keyboard>Audible Roll>Click, this is the default anyway), then when a call comes in and your ringtone is playing or ringing, roll the trackball. Does the ringtone turn to static and become garbled?? I have tried two Curves and it happens on both. If I mute the Audible Roll the problem is eliminated, but having that clicking sound can be helpful when navigating the browser. Wondering if anyone else has this problem?

is this really that big of a deal? why are u rolling the trackball when a call comes in?
I dont have a curve, so I dont know everything about the phone

Yeah, it's a nit pick, but I keep it in my pocket so the track ball may roll on its own moving around in my pocket reducing the ring to a static garble possibly resulting in missed calls. (it happens with the KB lock on too) And I guess I get a little OCD when I spend $$$ on something new that seems like it should work, uh, perfectly? If it was an $18 Go Phone I would dismiss it as an undocumented 'feature'.

Of course it is a concern, the phone is not supposed to do that, and what is he talking about he don't even have a curve! you are not nitpicking if it is a problem or a concern!

I've also noticed the same thing will happen if you recieve an SMS while playing music (without headphones). Personally, its no big deal - the pros of this phone outweigh the cons exponentially.
