i'm not trying to be mean here but you need to calm down. Call up Nokia Care like i did. Answer some questions and they will send you a UPS packing slip and you send the phone in. If you are in the intial warranty period it should be covered.

I am having similar problems but mine will only charge via the USB port of a computer and not from the wall charger which is odd.

Either way, call up Nokia Care and start the process.

I had the same issue. Did you try bending the connector in the port up a bit? Worked for me.

The usb port fell out because the charger /usb connection fits too tightly into the phone. Because it was so tight, the constant pushing and pulling into the usb port made it fell out over time due to friction.

To avoid this problem users have to shave the usb chargers to be a bit smaller so that it wont fit so tightly into the usb port.

Shaving down the usb charger would allow it to fit into the usb port more smoothly, thereby preventing the usb port from completely falling out.

I would have warned you sooner, but from the minute you said it stopped charging, I knew it was too late. Hope all goes well with your replacement / repair. It's not impossible to fix, just needs someone to solder the port back into place. As others here have said, try nokia care, and if that fails, get a real techy to solder it back into place.
