You are both welcome.
Expect a big step forward in the field as soon as Stanford ends it's tests (Stanford researchers have found a way to use silicon nanowires in the battery's anode to store 10 times the amount of electricity the existing lithium-ion batteries can store). TEN times! Imagine recharging your phone once a month...
The good news is that the technology is now being tested for life cycle time (they expect at least 1000 charging cycles). The even better news is that if a similar revolutionary development is done for the battery's cathode, the storage capacity could be increased even further. There is a (somehow) bad news too: we'll have to wait around 4 years for the first commercially available silicon nanowires batteries. My personal opinion is that the approaching petrol crisis will speed up the process (such batteries will finally make the electric cars worth buying).
Look for "nanowire battery" on Google if you wish to read more.

strange that you have a 950mah BST-33 as I always thought it was 900mah. Indeed here's the product page for this battery showing 900mah
anyway, you will have no issue using either battery in your k810

Indeed, it's quite strange.
I don't think it's genuine?

Does anyone know if it matters if you fully charge the battery before the first use?
IE: Start using it with the factory charge, before a full charge? |

it's fine. Won't hurt the battery. I've done this with every phone I've owned. I've never had to replace a battery.
The battery won't charge to it's full capacity until after the first couple of charges.

I wanted to ask if my battery capacity might be degraded if I didnot strictly obey initial formatting process (i.e. several full charges and discharges in a row). Also I would be interested if frequent short-time connections to Pc via cable with USB charging On may degrade the battery capacity if battery is half-charged. Is it better to turn USB charging off or don't I have to care ? Is it good/bad idea to leave phone on charger whenever possible (even if charged), or does not matter ? Can I find a Good manual for li-pol battery care? |

It doesn't matter. You can leave a lithium battery on charge for as little or as long as you like without degrading it's performance.
There is no memory affect in lithium batteries.

All we need now is a little patience
