Now, if you're handy, you can take your berry apart and replace the USB port your self. I've seen them go for under ten bucks on ebay. And all you need to do really is solder the new USB port into the berry's main board. I didn't fo this route because my curve was still under warranty, so I just took it back and got another one.
Good luck.
