Killed my battery last night...
charged it, turned on fine...
Just had the same problem with Sridhar!!!
Actually, I drained the battery the first day I got it, then charged it, and it turned on fine. Last night, the "famous" data connection issue happened to my Lumia 900 (even could not connect to WIFI, strange...). Then I drained the battery again, and plugged the charger in. Found out this morning the phone is "bricked" exactly the same as Sridhar described!!!
Asked AT&T's tech support online, told me just go a store to swap it.
Are you guys using the charger included with the phone or some other charger?
And make sure to charge from the wall.
It is NOT advisable to discharge the battery completely without properly shutting off the phone. This has been true since Windows Mobile days. This is after all a Windows product, just like its PC counter part, you need to properly shutdown the OS. So to those going to kill their battery on purpose, don't. It will be a hit or miss. The OS might start up, it might not. But it's not because it's defective. Its because you didn't properly shut it down. I even remember reading FAQ on the HTC website that a battery pull and completely discharging my Surround's battery should not be done.
Um, I don't know what to tell you but this is wrong. First Windows is fine if it does not shut down, in rare cases if you are editing system files, then you MAY have problems.
As for Phones, I have pulled my focus's battery soo many times, while still on, and had no problems booting up again. I also pulled my Titan's battery a few times when I had it.
If anything it could be with the batteries, some lithium batteries do not handle being empty very well, it could be a defect in the design or the battery itself, this has always been true, and especially if you leave it without charge for some time. This is also why it is recommended to NEVER let your lithium batteries reach 0 charge, they will loose their performance and won't be able to hold as much charge in the future.
I'm having the exact same issue with a Rogers Lumia 900.
I've owned multiple iPhones and Android devices. Never had this issue.
What a joke.
I'm going to try leaving it plugged in overnight and see what happens.
