You can admit that you do it. We all do it. It's OK. You're one of those people who plug in your mobile to recharge and then let it charge all night long. The phone needs just 4 hours or so to charge, but you don't get around to it until nighttime and then you think "just let it go all night."Well, that's a waste of electricity. It's also a battery drain, as some studies have shown. Nokia, ever looking for an angle in the hot-and-heavy mobile phone wars, is about to trot out a reminder system so you don't waste electricity charging a phone that's already fully charged.Starting with the 1200, 1208, and 1650 models, Nokia phones will be equipped with this special monitoring system, which will beep and display an LCD alert instructing you to unplug the charger. No word on whether you can change the wording on that alert, but we suspect it could be done. No word, either, on whether the monitor will beep incessantly until you attend to it. Still, it's a novel idea, one whose time has come.
