English term or phrase: thumb operated trackwheel
The new handset has a new and innovative QWERTY keyboard, dedicated Send and End keys and a thumb operated trackwheel for fast and convenient navigation.

Jag har sökt på navigeringsspak, navigeringstangent, navigationstangent m.m. m.m. men kan inte få fram vad man kallar denna lilla "spak" som styrs med tummen och som många av de senaste mobiltelefonmodellerna ju är utrustade med. Vet någon?

tumhjul / tumhjulsomkopplare


Explanation:
Kallas dessa för bland elektroniknördarna. De är väl inte så vanliga numera - förr användes de för att t.ex. ställa in värden bestående av flera siffror.

Ungefär som kombinationslåset på en kappsäck (när man monterar flera i rad)

Den här typen är till skillnad från omkopplarna inte stegad utan ett kontinurerligt hjul, så att man använder tummen också till något vettigt :-)
