Hi David,
Outside of the power and volume buttons, the charging port is the hardest working part of most any phone; it's typically plugged and unplugged at least once and often several times a day, and when it's plugged in it's vulnerable to damage from the connector being forcefully flexed.
That all adds up to the fact that if anything in a typical phone is going to wear out first, it's pretty much always going to be the charging port. You don't mention whether the amount of wiggle room you're seeing is causing any problems for you. Typically if the charging port is damaged you'll see problems with charging the phone and/or connecting it to other devices. If you're not seeing issues then a little bit of looseness in the connector is probably not that much to worry about; most likely just normal wear and tear.
If you are seeing problems or just want to put in a new port to make it like new again, you definitely can. Fortunately on your phone you can buy the port by itself pretty cheaply (as in under $5 USD) and the repair is only of medium difficulty.
Sorry to say there aren't any guides here on iFixit that can help you out, but they're not hard to find on YouTube. Here are a couple of quick links I came up with for buying the part and showing you how to replace it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sylena (@sylenal),
Without a charging port, obviously the phone's battery will run out of charge and the phone will die, which I assume has already happened. Unfortunately your phone doesn't come with wireless charging, so the port is the only way to get the battery charged. In theory you could probably buy a replacement battery and pop that in; it would most likely have enough charge to power the phone long enough to get your pictures off it, assuming you plan to do that wirelessly rather than by connecting to a computer and downloading them.
The thing is, replacing the battery is only marginally easier than replacing the charging port, and will only be a one time fix so the phone will still be useless after that battery dies.
So besides not being able to charge the phone, you won't be able to connect to a computer without a new charging port. To be honest, after viewing the video, it's actually one of the simpler charging port repairs there are on cell phones. For this repair you really only need a minimum of tools and the part itself is pretty cheap.
All in all, my suggestion would be to go ahead and replace the port. You'll get the full use of your phone back and won't have any issues getting your pictures and/or data from it, and in addition you will be able to sell/donate/trade a working phone and keep it out of the landfill a while longer.

I think my charging port "isn't" working correctly. I found the port still connected to the charging adapter. I am older (mid-40's) and I am careful with pulging the charger in and out and with all of the videos on DIY on how to fix issues with this particular phone and the fact that they stopped making them says A LOT! My question is if it's worth the headache of replacing the port if I am due for an upgrade? Then again I have had the phone for the past 4/5 years and some of the stuff I haven't saved in the "cloud" so it would just be gone, so I am going to get the port and then upgrade! Any other ideas on what would be the best option I would be open to them!
