I too am without access to the usb port for my phone- I have the vintage 8130 pearl and cannot charge it.. Any ideas? Thank you Jody
PS all of you who have TEC asuion_ beware_ I explained my plight and they said- not insured.
For your pearl you can purchase a charging pod that will allow you to charge the phone battery using the contact points on the housing of the phone. These work great for charging, unfortunately, you cannot sync your phone with your computer with this charging pod but at least you will still be able to charge (and use) the phone. See link below from amazon. Good luck.
