Blackberry owners - quick question

[fbrdphreak]

See question in title. If your USB charging port has broken, please state which model phone you have. TIA!

Not mine, but the most common ones I've seen is on the 8830, I've seen its port break numerous times.

i was using a world edition and the plastic thing in the middle separated entirely from the circuit board inside the phone. i took it apart and that piece seemed to be held in place with only a few tiny wires soldered to the main board. those are the data/power pins themselves, so it doesn't look like a very sturdy design.

Not yet.

Used to have a Pearl, and I have a Bold now. Never had a problem with either.

I've supported an assortment of 8703s, 8330s, and 8830s for the past three years and I haven't seen that happen yet. I believe that the users are pretty easy on their devices, though.

on my storm, the charging port is pushed in noticeable amount, still works tho

The charging port on my wife's Curve just died...$50 later and we have a replacement.

Not on any of my devices, but I change it every 3-6 months.

I've had the world edition (dunno the model no.) I got from work for a few months now, seems ok so far. The phone feels cheap overall though (compared to my iphone).
