Can't stand this V262! Won't recharge

This thing won't recharge. Took it to US Cellular and they were not helpful. First they suggested I buy another cord (bought 2) and that work for a few weeks. Then I took the phone back to US Cellular and they said the phone "has moisture damage near the speaker...buy new phone." That's it? I haven't had the phone for 1 year and it's driving me crazy. A co-worker managed to get it to recharge temporarily by holding the cord tightly at an angle in the phone. That was a short-lived remedy. The technician suggested I go to online auction sites (hint) and buy a replacement phone there. Reason being, at the time of last visit, the technician suggested I buy a used phone from them (a used $200 Razr, regular $400). I can't believe that's all the help they offered me! Looks like I am going to Cingular.

V262 HAS A HEARING PROBLEM

The V262 has a major hearing problem. Alltel has replaced two for me since April 06 and now the third has a problem (the same exact problem.) Either I can not hear the person or they can not hearing me either way it is a hearing problem. They want a new contract for two years and will not admit that the V262 has a chronic problem. I've been a customer for over 8 years and they could care less. I thought they made their money on monthly usage not the telephones. Without a telephone you can hear upon all the minutes in the world are useless. I have paid over $9000.00 in the past eight years and my being loyal counts for nothing. Stay away from the V262 I think it has a serious bug or virus in the software that causes the microphone and speaker to malifunction over a two to three month usage! Rumor has it that it was recall due to this problem and reinvented as a version two. I would expect a new phone with a warranty trade out but Alltel gives you a redone factory reject someone else had trouble with and they pass another problem on to their loyal, cash, monthly paying customers. Sad but true!

not really sure what happened with the battery, but i cant get the phone to charge to save my life! it just started this crap all of a sudden. if my battery dies completely i have hell getting it to charge again. i have purchased 2 chargers for this phone. one i paid top dollar for and it worked for a while, now it no longer works. the other however was a wireless charger that i got from a dollar store that acutally worked better than the expensive one. all i needed was a few aaa batteries. NOW NOTHING WORKS!!! i havent been able to charge my phone in two months. all it does is snap, crackle and POP! and its driving me nuts. im getting another phone i cant deal with it any more.
