Question How often do you charge your iPhone?

I have been charging it up about once a day,
even if it's only about half way used up in
the little graphic.

Is it better for the battery to let it run down
to empty before charging?

I guess I charge it each day so I don't run
out if I happen to be away from charger.

Advice?

Default Charging Battery

I used to charge it connected to my computer, but I found it lasts a lot longer if you charge it in the electrical wall socket. I just leave it on over night.

I try to keep it on the charger throughout the day because I tend to use it at full brightness to be able to see it under the flourescent lighting at work, plus playing podcasts and/or music all day long...

The battery prefers more frequent, top-ups rather than letting it go all the way down before charging.

I'm doing a test right now. I just upgraded to 1.1.4 Wednesday. So far I have been able to go 2 days where as before the upgrade it was everyday.

So the wall charger does give it more power? I just charge mine in the dock, on my laptop.

I charge mine every night before I go to bed. I use it a lot so the battery is usually less than half by the time I go to bed.
