Calling all Crative Zen Sleek owners - UPDATE mini review

Just bought, and its getting its first charge now. But I'm unsure of how long I need to let its first charge last? I'm about to go to bed, and won't be up for at least 7 hours.

Would it be okay to charge it that long? Do I risk damaging it if it goes that long?

Thanks

UPDATE: 12/09/05

Well I've used it for maybe 45 minutes so far, and its too early to make the final call. But a few things:

-Finally I get to see the full potential of USB 2.0. I always thought mine was 'broken.' Just never really had anything to stress it. It moved over my entire 18.5GB music collection in 83 seconds!!!
-It sounds good, but not as good as I was expecting. I'll try and adjust the EQ and see how that goes.
-The FM player part, seems pretty useless. Picks up maybe 2 stations in 'Auto Seek' mode
-I love/HATE the size. its great and compact, but I was worried a few times that I would drop it; feeling like I wasn't even holding anything in my hand since its so 'light.'
-Since this is my 1st ever MP3 player, I'm coming from a high end CD discman. So I really miss not being able to instinctively press the control buttons without looking. Knowing where the button is by feel. With the Zen, anytime I want to change anything, I need to take it out of my coat jacket and look at what I'm doing. This will take quite some time to get use to. Also, I live in the city and ride the subway, so you know where I'm going with this sentence.............
-It will take some time getting use to the touch navigation. Either its too damn fast, or not sensitive enough.
-The volume seems to jump exponentially when going from 22 to 23 level. It gets painful @ 23, but not loud enough @ 22??

So far, I've given it quite a few knocks. But I just need some time to get use to it, and figure it all out. Thanks

yeah, your right, well except the shoe in face. I'm just nervous, don't want to totally F this up before I even get any songs on it.
 
When it is fully charged tell us how you like it, I couldn't wait for the sleek to come out and bought the Zen Touch instead. I'd like to know how it is. How much did you pay for it and where did you get it from?

Got @ BB for $263 after tax AND it comes with a BB $50 gift card. Actually, I was pretty much 99% set on getting the Zen Touch 20GB and it was about $170 on Amazon.com after rebate. Thank god I resisted the urge to just buy it sound, unheard. @ Best buy today the Touch had lots of songs I actually like and I listened to the touch with premo Sony headphones I already have.

Then I tried the Sleek. The touch navigation touch pad drove me nuts. The sleek's navigation is light years better. The only thing that makes me nervous, is there were only two demo songs on the sleek, so I'm not too sure of how it really sounds?? But its much more compact than the touch and it has FM.

After I actually get to listen to it, I'll let you know the good/not so good
