Initial battery charge at 100% to prolong life?

May apply to some batteries but its not a general rule.
From my experience calibration can be a bit off if you don't fully charge and mostly discharge (I don't reccomend entirely discharging) for the first few charge cycles on a new battery. Fully charging before first use definitely seems to produce better initial results but I don't think its something that can't be rectified later (with most batteries).

This is a thing of the past
doesn't the whole 100% charge thing apply to modern batteries?
I Just bought the htc one x and switched it on first time without charging it for about a minute just to register the sim. I then left it for about 2 hours and had to take it off charge at 80% because i was going out and needed the phone. think this will cause any problems such as the battery draining quicker or a shorter life span?

I didn't charge my one S fully and my battery is fine.

Yep, it's quite bad to do it now. Just reset battery stats if you are having battery life issues.
There are no issues with partial charging in Lithium battery's. It is only the older NiCd batterys that have a cystal build up if it is not fully charged and discharged. I think its still good for the battery's overal "cycle" life to have full charges but there is no adverse effects with partial charging.
