Before you spend money just do a few things. I assume you have tried a battery pull? If not do that. Your phone hasnt been soaked or even slightly wet recently? That would normally be the cause.
Forgot to add- have you dropped it heavily recently? Or changed the housing? It could be that your keyboard is out of place.

My trackball is a complete pain in the arse. If you have the time, it would be worthwhile to take the battery out and keep your phone in a jar of rice overnight. The recommended time is 3-5 days but i couldnt live without my phone for that long. If the problem was with the other keys then i would suggest re-installing the operating system but it seems to me that moisture is the problem. Your last resort is to just buy a replacement keyboard in the internet, they arent too expensive. Theres no point in giving your phone to someone to get it fixed for £50 when you could do it yourself.
if you've got a precision screwdriver set (you either need a Torx screwdriver or a mini flat head one) it might be worth taking it apart yourself. I've got a BB Bold with a trackball and it stopped clicking completely (they get worndown and caked in dust and dead skin).
There are videos on youtube on how to do it http://m.youtube.com/watch?desktop_...e.com/watch?v=N09b4tmDq2E&v=N09b4tmDq2E&gl=GB. I ended up buying a new trackball off ebay and replacing it. Took a few goes to get it right, mainly cos I didn't follow instructions properly. Works like when it was new now though.
