Perhaps Samsung looked at the battery life issues the EVO is having and decided to go with a lower amperage charger on purpose in improve overall battery performance.
So no, I would not use a 1000mA charger. Stick with the 700mA charger and plan ahead to make sure you have enough time to get a full charge.

wrong, this was for ni-cd and ni-mh. the only thing that adversely affects charging lithium (granted voltage is correct) is heat. lithium actually likes being charged even when not empty.
