A fact from the net

"Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries should be charged early and often. Lithium-ion batteries should not be frequently fully discharged and recharged ("deep-cycled") like Ni-Cd batteries"

The reason why many laptop batteries tend to die early, is that they tend to run fairly hot. Much hotter than the these phones ever become. Heat is not our friend.
