    Hi all,
    Just bought my g51 from BB over the weekend.
    I just noticed today that I hear something rolling around on the inside, like a ball bearing or a screw.
    I took the back panel off to see if it would come out, but evidently it's in deeper.
    anyone else has this? or do i have to make a trek back to BB for exchange and deal with the idiots there?

    I thought the same thing about my BB G51, but it turned out to be one of the release tabs for the battery that I was hearing. Are you sure thats not what you hear?
