the idea that charging the phone when a battery is not empty is bad applies to batteries that suffer memory affect. That is Nicad and some NiMH batteries. Most phones now use Lithium based batteries, which don't suffer from memory affect, so can be charged when ever needed without fear of shortening the useable life of the battery.
As cyco says, there is micro circuitry in the battery itself that monitors the charging of the battery. Two things are required of charging a lithium battery, 1. don't overcharge or overheat and 2. don't let the voltage drop to zero. Both of these factors reduce the life of a lithium battery.
But the beauty is, the charger and battery between them work to ensure those two points are taken care of, which means you can leave the charger on all night (it'll stop charging automatically once full), run the battery dead (it'll turn itself off before voltage reaches zero), or charge the battery no matter how full it is (no memory affect to worry about).
love lithium batteries

Turn off your phone saves the battery.

Thanks for the tips guys, although I'll keep my animated Alien theme. I love the way it blinks. Battery life and mp3 were the main reasons I got a w800. Afterwards I discovered Opera Mini. Sweet!

Well I'm new to this forum but I'm here to clear out a point, and I hope I get your help on this matter: I got the k750i not more than a week ago, the battery only lasts 1 or 2 days max without even excessive use...

Hi all. I feel for Karimz. I suffer the same problem as him. My battery life lasts only for about 2.5 hours of talk time (and if I'm not talking then about 2 days standby) and its been about 2 weeks since i go this phone. Anyone suspicious of a dud battery or is this normal, considering the claim by Sony is (albeit) up to 9 hours and I'm in a excellent-reception area constantly.
