Will it not charge properly if I use it with the 550 mA one? Tx-N

It will charge perfectly well, just might take a bit longer that's all. And if you are charging a nearly empty battery the charger might get a little warm to start with.

550mA - that's only 50mA more than charging via computer - certainly too small...

Why is it too small? As you yourself pointed out it is 50ma more than the output from a USB port and the T1 is designed to charge from that.
As I said in another thread the device will only ever draw the maximum current that it is designed to do. As long as the charging source meets the minimum requirements (matches the USB spec) then it will be fine. You could have a charger that provides 10A output but if the device is designed with a maximum current draw of 500ma then that's all it will take.
