I have had my Blackberry Curve 8330 for 7 months and the after trying to plug it in.. it's loose now... totally love this phone.. now they want $400 + to get a new one.
"...loose" ???
do you mean the plug doesn't fit snugly and has to be jiggled to charge ?
If so, this is a simple repair you can perform yourself if you're skilled with a soldering iron.
What has happened is the USB connector and the guide post (black plastic thing in the center with the contacts) has loosened. This is becoming a commonly published issue with newer BB's and RIM refuses to call it a defect and recall the millions of afflicted phones.
The connector is standard and can be replaced with a MiniUSB plug from almost any device including a digital camera. If you have experiences with a local electronics repair shop then have them replace the USB connector.
There are numerous services on the web who can perform this repair and often for less than $50 USD.
