how long did you charge the p900 when using it for the first time?

I too have noticed its longevity. Its more surprising I think if you have come from the P800 like I have. I would say that I am a fairly heavy user, quite a few calls each day, texts, using oggplayer, bluettoh for extended periods, etc Yet at the moment I am still sitting on 47% battery and I last charged yesterday. That 47% will easily see me through to tonight before I have to charge again.
One last point, do any of you guys notice that when the P900 does get down to the last 10% or so that it really clings on to life? Mine seems to last pretty long when it gets down to the critical level.

@ Dr.P900 & Egg
Hi, I've had my p900 for a couple of weeks now and I'm really impressed. I charged mine for 14 hours first charge. In the Orange shop they said I should charge it for 16, but for some reason it says in the orange p900 manual that the first charge should be atleast 6 hours! abit low. Anyway, I couldn't hold back any longer after 14 hours and just had to play with it.
One Question for anyone.
I regularly sync my p900 using the docking station, about once every 12 hours. It can be in there for any time between, a few mins, to over night. Will this kill my battery? How often do you sync yours and would I be better removing the power cable from my sync station, and charging it separately (or will it just charge through the usb anyway)
Thanks

Thanks Randam for your input, any body else would kindly elaborate on the subsequent charge cycles in the 1st few days of starting using the phone, like when should u recharge, when it is down to 10% or earlier in the first few days of usage, and should u keep plugging it in even if the battery indicator shows 100%, or what.
Thanks

@Dr. P900
I have not got hold of a P900 but all I can say about Lithium-ion batteries is that you can charge it whenever you want (whether it is 1% or 99%).
I have also heard that some people find the battery to be more longlasting if you keep charging even after the battery is full.
I do not see why the 2nd point will increase in the battery life, since the battery already has a capacity limit, but it is worth a try anyway.
One more critical thing: I believe that the first charge is very important, it will affect the battery life for the rest of the cycles (just like the case for AA or AAA Li-MH battery).
The battery life will reach its peak after 3 cycles of recharging.
Thank you and good luck on finding a good software for medical purposes.
