Am I screwed?

Blackberry Pearl won't charge on wall, in car or with usb.

Lots of threads in google with no suggestions other than to get a new one under warranty, which has expired on mine.

Sounds like it. I've had 2 blackberry pearls and both failed me in like 6 months time.

mine does this all the time, i just push the connector extra hard until it goes. My bb pearl flip has lasted like a year and a half; but is so close to death its sad.

Effin' pos. I've 4 or 5 of these things. Maybe there's a universal battery charger that will juice up just the battery.

Get a new phone, the Pearl is awful. If you adore BBs then get whichever version of the Bold is available on your carrier.

I'm not sure who your provider is but when I called Telus to report that my phone was having issues they told me to take it to the store and they'll switch it for free. They give you a refurbished one though. When I went they didn't ask any details except if I backed everything up and just handed me a new phone.

Next time my keys weren't working I just went straight to the store and switched it. No questions asked.
