Wonder if there can be a solution, but I believe I'm not alone in this predicament. Here it goes:

I have a sony ericsson k700i. It gives a lot of problems to charge in that I have to tilt up or down and painstakingly keep it in that position to charge, otherwise, it would remain as I leave it. Any time I try to listen to the FM radio, it behaves like a kid trying to fiddle with it because, every second it goes on and off. That one began with one of the two ear pieces failing.

I'm in love with sony ericsson, but I fear higher sony ericsson phones might have the same problems of charging and earphone ports.

Anyone have a solution or a similar opinion is welcome to contribute.
