    Crisis mode -the usb connector on my desire (original one) is busted and I can't charge my phone. Anyone know anywhere in Dublin I can pick up a desktop batter charger that can charge the battery outside the phone?

    thanks

    Might not be much of a help but I thought this happened to my phone a few days ago but it turned out to just be the cable that was dodgy.

    Could be worth trying a different usb lead?

    Afraid I dont know of any external battery charger.

    Good luck either way.

    Unfortunately its not the cable - the "male" part of the usb (on the phone) is physically busted.

    thanks anyway.

    I don't think it will be a problem it's a standard connection, I actually use the charger from my N97 in my desire to charge it

    You could buy one of the cheapish Docks that have an extra slot for a second battery along with another battery. You can then always have one charging, swapping them over as needed.

    Something like this: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/deluxe-htc-desire-desktop-charging-cradle-p24549.htm along with a battery.

    You won't be able to use the dock as a phone charger but at least you will have 1 battery always ready.
