New cell phone... Good idea to run the battery totally down the first time?

[aphex]

I remember hearing this was good to do.....

All I ever hear is to make sure to fully charge it the first time. Don't know about anything else.

i heard you should charge it up to max before you start using it.

First 5 times actually. It really does make a difference.

charge to the max then let it get all the way emptied and then charge to the max and repeat. Do this cycle 3 or 4 times and it will increase your battery life in the long run, its called conditioning the battery.

i can attest to that...the first phone i had i didnt do that and the batt would give me about 2 days of standby...when it croaked i got another one just like it...the salesman told me to do it and now i get about 3 days of standby...
