You'll be fine -- the default current on the USB port is 100mA so your device is charging, just very slowly (aka "trickle charge"). Normal charging current for a BB is 500mA - so if 500mA charges in 1 hour, 100mA would charge in 5 hours. I've read in various articles that trickle charging actually is better for a Lithium Ion battery, increasing it's longevity -- I can't confirm that, though.
(the charge curve is also not a direct 1-to-1, it's actually an exponential I think)
