    Has anyone had this problem? I didn't realize it was broken until I took it to see if they could clean my ball area. I'm gettin a refurb in the next few days but was told not to get too attached to it incase they can't fix the port send my phone back. Grrrr I think I might be the only person who has weird issues with bb lol

    How have you been charging your device?

    The charger still plugs in it but it wiggles and there's a lot of propping and stuff. But one wrong move and the dang thing resets while its plugged in.

    As to the charging pod Pete referenced, you can pick one of those
    up at a T-Mobile retail store for $7 (Sorry, not trying to hurt the
    store, but cheaper is cheaper)

    Insurance will get you a brand new bb and should only be $50.

    SUPM32077

    I wonder if that charging pod will charge a Curve with the Seidio extended battery and battery cover? Seidio's charge does not charge it, which seemed kind of odd / ridiculous to me but that's a different story.

    Maybe so then, I'm not familiar with Alltel's insurance provider, but at Tmo and VZW it was only $50 with either insurance feature.

    I'm on my 3rd BlackBerry World Edition in a year -- all have had charging port problems AND I use BlackBerry chargers. I've been given refurb replacements twice. There is obviously something wrong with their charging port. I was going to wait for the new Storm before I bought a new smartphone but with this problem I'm thinking of going back to a Treo. I can't afford to go phoneless every few months because of a faulty product.

    My salesman told me it would be $100 to replace a bad phone and I would get a refurb.

    He was wrong.

    It was $135 and it was a refurb. And that was with TMO
