Hi Deb,

It uses that “squished” mini USB port instead of the normal “mini USB.” Not sure the technical name for it but it’s a much thinner USB female port. Since all major carriers have this BB Bold 9700, pop into a store to check it out. I totally loe the trackpad instead of the trackball…very precise and easy to use.

Thanks,
What does the usb input look like on the side of the device? My curve’s usb port was damaged and I was unable to charge my battery for 6 months while waiting for a hardware upgrade (fortunately my I was able to use my husbands handset to charge my battery), but I’m worried that will happen again.
