So, is there any agreed upon proper charging technique? I'm looking to get an HTC Touch, and I want to take good care of it from the start. A lot of people are saying a lot of different things, so I'd like to clarify and sum everything up...

I usually just leave my (non-PPC) phones charging whenever I'm home. I've got my charger sitting on my desk, and whenever I get home I plug it in, where it stays plugged in until I'm ready to leave the following morning. That means it's probably plugged in for 17 consecutive hours assuming I'm out of the house for 8 hours. I haven't ever had a PPC phone before, but I haven't noticed these practises damaging my regular phones' battery. Based on what I've seen around the net, that isn't a good idea?...

What about using the Touch while it's plugged in (like if I'm sitting at my desk trying out new applications or something)? Is that OK?

What's the best charge point to plug it in? 30% battery power, 10%, etc?

Are there any exceptions to anything above for the first few charges?
