If it's still flattening it may be a faulty battery, or faulty charging indication, in which case it may be worth leaving it on charge past the greenlight indication. IIRC the manual suggest a long intial charge.
Some badly behaved software (or TSR types) don't quit fully/properly unless a soft reset is used.0 -

Fair play to you all :T :T0 -
You can install this which gives you a Windows XP style shutdown screen ...

This shuts it down properly - I can never be sure if using the side button turns it off completely or not.0 -

Finally get hold of mine tomorrow (it's me birthday!), any idea how long an initial charge the manual recommends?

At last Bubba! :j
They recommend charging for 3 days initially before use and no touching it.
HA Ha I'm a liar, it's 24 hours, you can use it in this time but the power supply must not be interrupted.
Oh and Happy Birthday. :beer:0 -

Whoa, bummer man.
Is there no way you can get it fixed?
If you do you could always sell the cracked screen, it's amazing what people sell/buy on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64371&item=5858767721
Actually having a look on ebay it seems the Mio 168 has a major problem with the recharging connector, judging by all the broken ones for sale. Think I'll have to treat mine with kid gloves when it's finished charging (46 minutes to go:j )
