Ah, forgot a rather important bit.
The first charge of a new phone is very important in many models. The phone is shipped partially charged in a rather special manner. It is in a state optimised for storage for possibly a long time. The initial charge cycle is not a standard charging cycle; for optimum life of the lithium cell, or on old style units ni-cad or ni-mh requires a prolonged charge cycle to stir up the chemistry and switch from a prolonged storage state to a normal operating cycle. Since it is often tricky to determine if your phone is affected by this, leave your new phone on charge for a prolonged period. 20hours is pretty good but more is better.. If your phone is one that needs this long charge, neglecting it can cost you money in reduced battery performance and a shortened life. a well designed phone, even if it doesn't need the prolonged charge, will not be harmed by it. Toaster shop phones are not going to have much battery life, except for people who normally win lotteries anyway.
You could RTFM of course, but who wants to be first inn their province to try that gimmick?

Entropy is not what
