Dunno about cell phones, but with laptops, it's not good to always be charging it but it's also not good to let it go down all the way. there is software in laptops that manage the battery so it doesn't recharge the battery until it gets to a certain point (80% or so).

i've read in some electronics mag that discharging a li-ion all the way is supposed to have negative consequences causing the battery to go haywire.
