I think for Li-Polymer/Li-Ion batteries there is no need for an initial charge of more than the time it takes to get the battery full. Once the battery indicator shows full and stops moving, then it's already full. There's no significant advantage in charging your Li-based batteries for a long time IMO.

You are right ! Leaving it for houres, only hurts the batteri... It was the *Old* batterys that needed a long initial charge, the new ones actualu get damaged, by excessive charging..!!

Yup, overcharging does damage the batteries, but chargers nowadays already have smart circuits that enables it to automatically go to trickle charge when it senses that the battery is full. So, assuming that your charger is in good condition, it won't overcharge your batteries.
If you notice also, once the battery indicator shows full, the phone and the charger cools down. This clearly proves that it is no longer charging so letting it stay in the charger is pointless.

I was under the understanding that in Sony Ericsson phones (and others too) that the phone itself controls the charge, not the charger.
This is self evident in fact when you consider that you can plug into other branded car kits or chargers and you still see "optimised charging" dislpayed

As always, you're probably right @masseur. I'm not really sure if the circuit that controls the charging is in the charger itself or in the phone -- because if you come to think of it the part of the phone that controls the charging is still part of the overall charger circuit in general.
My explanation was probably vague, but, I was referring to all chargers in general -- desk charger or phone + plug-in charger.
