not to nitpick, but I just want to make sure correct information provided.
what the evil i is describing is battery conditioning. this is definitely a must for new batteries, however, only a couple of these cycles are needed. li-ion does not have the same memory issues as ni-cd & ni-mh. actually li-ion will last longer (year/month wise) if it is kept charged.
but yes, if you're having issues with battery life, try a few full discharge/charge cycles and go from there.
edit; btw, I make a point to condition my batteries a few times a year, and my mom is still using the factory battery on my old sanyo (mm7400) (bought in 05)
lol, edit 2,, on my mogul's i get between 4hrs and 2 days, depends on how much I use it. biggest drain=wifi next=cell/data ; gps and bluetooth drain the least. obviously the screen backlight drains what it does....
