I know charger has tickle-charge to fully charge it. Will charging using PC USB port shorten the lifespan of the battery? I am charging my fone daily as I am at work thru my notebook, worry this will have impact to the lifespan of the bettery.

Apple webpage says the internal battery can still retain 80% efficiency after 1000 cycle of charges.

sorry to have kinda interrupted...

I wonder if anyone has experienced of replacing battery from Apple service center or whichever official servicing party?

It kind of puts me in trauma to charge my iPhone.... after gaming, surfing, facebook...(that's the best point of owning iPhone right?) It is said that the battery lifespan is for like... 400 times correct? ..... it's counting in my head everytime I'm charging...haha....

I'm not worried about the price to pay for replacing a battery.... but to get my iPhone>Maxis>Apple..... is going to take 4 - 6 weeks as mentioned by Maxis.... it's killing....  sad.gif

so I wonder if the battery would really deteriorate after that amount of charge cycle? 1 charge each day..... sometimes if extreme.... 2 charges a day..... it leaves my iPhone battery to stay up good in one year.... or less??   cry.gif

yup..most of the time its just show charging device not supported .
in some rare case that nikita encounter it will spoil the iphone.
so supplier did separate out the charger for 2g and 3g/3gs. they didnt mention it will spoil the phone but i heard from another supplier , their iphone dead after tested on the 2g charger ...
