Damn, that's kind of a big deal. I let my phone die and I couldn't charge it until this update came out? Erm, way to go Palm, I'd tell all my friends about it but your software wont let my damn phone charge so I can txt them!
Well, that is a common problem with almost ALL Li-on batteries, but it is especially apparent in HTC manufactured phones, they simply do not posses a strong enough charging circuit to charge a completely dead battery. You can of course "jump off" a dead Li-on with a 9Volt battery or similiar, and then get it to charge in the phone. We have to do this with HTC Wizards and such all the time.

If you read the page it says you can trickle charge it with your USB cable if it dies all the way...
