Everything would be great, but I don't have the wall charger with me, and I
won't have it near me anytime soon (three weeks).However, I've got another
charger from another phone that says:
Input: 100-240V~0.2A 50-60Hz
Output: 5V 1A LPS

This is the charger for a HTC phone, can't remember the model right now.
Is that charger ok to use with the Neo?
