I'm getting a new Axim X3 on christmas morning, and yes, i cant wait to get my first PDA. I've researched for months on which one to get, programs, games, etc.

But for the last week i've had this dream where I open it up and I charge for 30 minutes and completely forget it needs 4 hours. So, i turn it on and start using it and destroy the battery.

Has anyone had similar things happen? Even if it wasnt for your pda. I just wanted to share my story with the fellow newbies.

No not yet...but it probably will. It hasn't happped only because I have not purchased/decided on the PDA yet

I don't think I've ever seen a single post about a bad battery due to not charging for the first four full hours. I actually started using my first X5 right out of the box without charging at all (until I noticed the battery was at 30-something %), and that battery didn't even experience poor performance, lasting over 11 hours with the today screen on low brightness in a test.

charging for 4 hours may increase the number of charges available, but it does not see to affect actual usage time a hair.

ARGH! Im already having nightmares! When I open presents on Christmas eve I will unpack the Axim.. and first thing I have to do is charge it for 4 HOURS!!!!! AH! Torture! I wonder if I will be able to withstand the anticipation... haha

the 4 hours is well worth it people :+)
I actually had to charge mine for like 8 hours in order to get rid of the "backup battery low" message.

I agree with this my battery was around 57% charged as I remember and I used it to around 25% then fully charged for four hours. While I was away at the families Christmas day last year.
