So sounds like we would be able to activate then turn off and do the charging steps?

YES!!!!
You'll be fine, just follow the procedure above from this day forward. The reason this happens is that very, very few people read the manual, store reps included.
This really seems like a great way for Moto to have a ton of returned phones. This process is assuredly out of the general range of knowledge/patience/interest zone of most people other than us tech fiends.
Most people want a phone that is going to be handed to them, left on 24/7, and charged when dead, sometimes after they've talked on it till it dies.
This is pretty much a recipe for large scale failure in the hands of the not techie, average user if this is truly what it takes to make this polymer battery function appropriately. I'm techie and this is pretty bothersome really.
I'd be soooo happy to have an old school removable battery on this awesome phone.
Hello
I've done the same thing... didn't charge my maxx when I received it...
So... I've read this post yesterday and I shut down my phone and charged it all night... The thing is... In the morning I turn it on... the battery was 99%...After 1h is 93%....
I don't think this is normal... :-( I haven't done the second full charge when the phone is off... yet... maybe that's it ? I'll do it this night and I hope tomorrow everything is ok ..
What do you think ?
I made a mistake of powering up the phone out the box and setting it up before charging it. However, so far its been great for about a month now. I will let it discharge to %15 in the next week and charge with power off as per posted directions but as of now I've not had issues.

I'm charging again with the phone powered off tonight, and I'm hoping things will improve after calibration. (what do you think ?).
I forgot to mention that this is a European Razr Maxx (so, no 4G, only 3G).
The calibration will make your meter more accurate.
Charge the device powered off to avoid parasitic effects on the battery. Like your doing.
Turn down your screen brightness to the lowest setting to squeeze as much time out of the battery as possible.
Also, how much of that 10 hours is screen on time?? Check your battery usage settings to see if you have an app hanging up and killing the battery.
Hope this helps?
DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!!
