Using Blackberry USB Charger for HTC Touch?

Knowing the Blackberry 8703 (my old device) and the HTC Touch both use USB chragers, is it reasonable to assume I can use my extra BB chargers to charge my HTC Touch? I checked the output specs on both chargers. The HTC Touch factory USB AC charger puts out 5V, same as the Blackberry USB charger. The only difference is the amperage is slightly different. The BB unit puts out .75A vs the 1A the HTC charger puts out.

Anyone see any issues? To me, it appears the Blackberry charger is slightly less powerful. So naturally I'm thinking if it's less powerful, there's no harm in any damage, right? I'm thinking - they both have to conform to the USB power standards when connected to a PC, so the only difference with the AC charger connection is the AC charger will be a little more powerful to charge the device faster.

Has anyone used a non-HTC branded charger like maybe from another device like I'm talking about?
