you think they'd fix it for $50 bucks? sounds too cheap for me since they usually charge an extraordinary amount *just for looking at it*... I say this because I didn't get the total equipment protection plan and it really isn't a factory defect (it looks like I beat it up!)

I AM good at soldering but I really don't want to mess with a 300 dollar phone! Also, are the mini USB ports universal (size wise) and just a matter of soldering the correct leads? I tried opening it up and took off the three hex/star screws and I still couldn't bust it open so I decided to quit that road!
