Have you lost your BlackBerry charger? Your choices are replace it with an original BlackBerry OEM charger for about $25 at the ShopBlackBerry site. Naturally you can buy a charger cheaper on the Internet (or even on the streets of NYC). The problem is that when you’re on the road you get forced into paying all sorts of crazy accessory costs out of desperation. Here’s one cool trick that I just spied at Gizmodo. Walk into any hotel (it’s not important if you’ve even stayed there). Tell them you think you left your charger behind and ask if anyone found it.

Apparently so many people leave chargers that almost all sizable hotels have a huge bin for you to choose from. You’ll be doing the hotel a favor by reducing their stockpile of lost chargers. If they hotel asks whether you stayed there (and you haven’t) just claim to have come from a meeting or seminar.
