External Battery Charger for a Blackberry

My lovely daughter has broken the data/charging connector on her Blackberry 8100 Pearl.

I've had a look and the poorly-designed connector (soldered to the pcb) has snapped on all four legs. Looks like the best option is to buy an external battery charger so that she can recharge overnight.

Any ideas as to where I might find one?

eBay ..
A good electronic repair shop would fix that connector for you tho. Standard parts from RS or Maplin, usually.
I presume it is one of the mini usb's.

Thanks Chaps. Yeah, it is a mini usb adaptor and appears to have additional contacts which meets the motherboard when the casing is soldered to the motherboard. I think the best option is an external battery charger and to use bluetooth for data transfer.
