Blackberry Curve 8330 Keyboard stopped working, seemingly for no reason or with no cause in particular. Cannot pick up calls, read messages, or wake up screen--but can still receive messages and calls, charge battery, and use roller ball scroller to scroll through "desktop" menu options only. Tried removing battery and then putting battery back in place several times to reboot, but has not changed the situation.

Remove the scroll ball ring and look inside. there should be a sticker and see if its red. If it is then there is liquid damage to the phone.

My trackball works on my blackberry and i recieve calls but it seems like my keyboard is locked i cant pick up calls or select options

Have your keypad checked out, I used to fix alot of blackberries and they suffered from defective keyboards, this seems to be a common problem with them. Replace the keypad under the keyboard, swap out your phone if you have insurance.

Good luck.

I have my yahoo email set up on my phone and would like to remove this option because I'm constantly getting messages and it seems to be causing my blackberry to run slow. The hour glass keeps coming on. I...

Disabling your Yahoo email to the Blackberry won't solve your slowdown issues. The Blackberry is the preferred way to receive emails from a mobile device. You could have several different email accounts set up (i.e. gmail, hotmail, yahoo, ect.) and it wouldn't impact your performance. RIM is most known for their ease of set up and ability to forward / read email from a mobile. Check for other issues regarding slow down such as other processes running, slow network connection, ect.

Describe your RIM BlackBerry® Curve? 8330 Cellular Phone Problem Red light will not stop blinking

I own a Blackberry 8120. Have you tried a hard reset by pulling the battery and then restarting the phone? Also, events get caught in the phones memory process as well, causing reminder LED's to not clear after clearing the event. Go to options>security options>memory cleaning and enable the memory cleaning function. Set the icon setting to show on the home screen, memory cleaning is a function that many blackberry users under-utilize...the memory must be cleared just like a desktop PC, the rapid logging of events causes some to hang up. I believe one of these 2 solutions will help you out.
