samsung wont use that type of battery if that is really going to be an issue/problem as it could jeoparidze the company... besides , samsung is not dumb enough not to think that some people do like to keep their phone plugged in all the time.. even i keep my phone plugged while asleep...LOL
if the galaxy S would start a fire, lawsuits would be sending them invites.. LOL

Yes, the manual clearly states ~
Page 122 Safety and Usage Information
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as
overcharging may shorten battery life.
However, part of this problem has to be due to the type of battery found in the i9000.
Instead of the dry cell Li-Ion we have the wet cell Li-Pol.
Li-Pol's being wet cell can rupture if overcharged.
Obviously Samsung are not going to say this in the manual and I am sure they have taken every preventive measure to ensure the battery does not rupture but a Li-Pol's design and make up are known for this. As such manufacturers and designers have to ensure all safety measures are in order.
