Trickle Charge using a PC

All the reps at the Verizon store have their phones connected to their PC. When I asked what they were all doing they indicated that they leave the phone connected to the PC to do a trickle charge. They told me this doesn't cause a problem and will help to keep the phone charged. I've googled to see if leaving my Droid connected to a PC all day will be a problem and some say yes others say no. Any advice on this issue? I basically sit at a desk all day and would like to keep my phone charged but don't want to ruin it.

 

Thanks

I do this all the time without an issue. If transferring data from the phone to the PC, you have to connect and at that point the phone is now charging

i do it as well. not specifically to keep it charged, but because i am at a desk all day and i plug it in to charge and forget it's plugged in sometimes. hasn't seemed to hurt anything.

Having your phone connected to the PC charging will not cause damage.
