I quote from http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_Battery_Charger

*WARNING:* Because the Neo1973 is overly conservative with drawing power 
from USB, it will often NOT charge with the full 500mA. Also, it is 
currently unclear how "off" a powered down Neo really is. So to prevent 
that you have to go through the emergency charging procedure outlined 
below (which will keep you from using your Neo for hours) make sure that 
you pull the battery from the device when you are not using it. This 
issue must be fixed in GTA02 as the current behavior is not end user 
compatible.
