    Finally got myself a new phone-Nokia 6060 and the guy in the shop said that I should leave it charging for 10 hours! Is this true, i knew it was with the older Ni-Mh batteries but is it necessary for Li-ion? What are peoples views on this,

    Even for Li-Ion it's best to do this for the first one or two charge cycles.

    Yeah I alsways give a new phone a full charge overnight (switched off). I notice the Motorola E1000 I got recently only took a few hours. Overnight is when I charge as it's when I always have the phone off.

    Charge it for as long as the manual says to charge it. The new batteries dont have the same memory problem as the old ones.

    I bought a w550i recently and charged it for a little bit longer than the manual said (like 4 hours instead of 2.5) and I get 5 days from it and thats with 2 hours of radio/mp3 usage a few phone calls and about 10 to 20 txt msgs a day.
