Charging New Phone

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.

well i got a motorola v3x of 3 for x mass and in the 3 manual it said to charge it for 2hrs and i did and it said charge complete but i left it for a good 6 hours after that
better safe than sorry
you only have to do it once so why not

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.
