The "Dell" logo does not change color. The charge light is in the power button at the top of the unit.

I did my initial charge for about 10 hours overnight, both to make sure it got fully charged, and because I really didn't need it while I slept.

Don't be in awe. :P I was spending all of my waking hours at home (at that time) trying to set up a wireless network. So waiting for the Axim to charge was not a problem.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson - DOH! I should have paid more attention to the manual; I thought the light went green went the main battery was charged. I estimate I lost probably 49 mins of quality playtime by being dumb.

Just got my Axim and waiting on the inital charge now.

Anything negative that will happen if I try it before the initial 4 hour charge?

Or if I let it charge overnight for 12+ hours?

Gotta make you wonder if they asked that same thing at Chernobyl.

If you just can't wait to play leave it on charge while you are using it. That way it will continue to charge and condition the battery.
