Micro USB Charger

[hellerbrewing]

Can I use any micro USB charger for this phone? Are all USB based chargers standardized to send the same voltage? If I already have a cigarette lighter adapter (motorola I think) with a USB power port on it, can I just use a micro USB cord with it?

Micro USB is a standard, so the pinouts and voltages are identical. Your charger may not be able to provide the same charge (mAh) as the Arrive's, but it won't hurt to try.

My Wife has an old Samsung Exclaim micro USB wall charger and I am curious if it will charge my HTC Arrive. Below are the specifications of both:

Samsung Exclaim Wall Charger:
Model: ATADU10JBE
Input: 100-240VAC 50-60 Hz 0.15A
Output: 5V ------ 0.7A

HTC Arrive Wall Charger:
Model: TC U250
Input: 100-240V~200mA 50-60Hz
Output: 5V --------- 1A

The reason I'm asking is that I left my USB cable at work and cannot charge my phone and the battery is nearly dead. I don't want to fry my phone so I figured I'd ask the experts.

Thankfully you don't have a Focus. Those guys have to sleep with one eye open now. JK, Reminded me of an article a couple weeks back.
Man’s Samsung Focus gets hot and bothered as it burns charger port, melts cable | BGR

Well it worked and I'm still alive, not burned to a crisp! Thanks for the confirmation, it's good to have a free wall charger availible at home so I can leave my OEM USB charger at work.

I used BlackBerry USB cables and wall chargers. I believe them to be of high quality and have the longest cords.
