I don't really know the reason, but it's the same with all the electronics gadgets you buy. And independent om the brand. No matter if it's mobile, MiniDisc, Discman, DV-cam or if it's Sony, Ericsson, Nokia, Pioneer, whatever.. There's got to be a reason for that.. hmm.. anyone??

"The 40 percent charge assures a stable condition even if self-discharge robs some of the batteryˇ¦s energy. Most battery manufacturers store Li-ion batteries at 15˘XC (59˘XF) and at 40 percent charge."

I think the charging wount start properly if the battery is completely empty when you connect the charger. Some power is required to start the process, otherwise it will take about 30 minutes to start the charging from when you connected the charger.

if u look at it from another angle ... "just enough power in the batt. for the saleperson to get u hook on the phone BUT not enough for u to see the 'flaws"

seriously though, most rechargable batt. will have a pre-charge to test functionality before packing.
