Well, as long as you only rely on your computer to charge you'll always have similar results. The reason is the USB port can only provide so much power. The HTC charger does 5 volts at 1 AMP, the USB port can only do 5 volts a 500mA, or 1/2 of what the charge puts out.

Also the 3vo battery is a bit larger, which IMO, does make a difference (in extended use and charging).

So use the wall charger, it should take 1-2 hours
