Lot harder than the 9900

OK, and now to reassemble?

reverse the process

[Alain_A]

yep it is not for the novice

[mad_mdx]

Wow his pry tool is amazing!!

[slagman5]

Hate all of the tape and glue that's holding it all together... Q10 is a lot better since it's all screwed together.

Phew, changing the battery in a year or two will be a lot harder than I actually thought

What is that white thing he pulled out between the battery and pcb? Glue tape?

Classic 2 will come out with better specs so we will be upgrading instead

And that's why I prefer a removable battery. You can throw this away in about 20 months of daily charging

Yeah, that is quite the battery adhesive job. You'd think a bit in each corner would of sufficed.

[Q10Bold]

LOL! So much tape and glue!

[WES51]

Sorry friends, but after seeing this video, it looks like I'm no longer on the fence.

This phone is not for me.

Not having a removable battery is one thing, but not being able to change it with reasonable effort even on diassembly is a major deal braker.

Not to mention the potential issues when trying to fix the keyboard.

In germany sealed/non removable batterys have also 2 years warranty like the device itself. Not my problem if blackberry has problems to replace the battery

What a silly statement...
My 9810 lasted 3 years on the same battery, never had a problem and never noticed lack of battery effectiveness. And consider all BlackBerry 10 phones have at least one year warranty

Can you provide evidence for your claim that the battery will go bad in such a short period of time?

Its not a warranty issue if the battery last too short in your opinion.
I think it will be almoust impossible to get a new battery under warranty.
Ok if the battery gets thick or break the phone- no problem, but without such a big issue there is no way they gonna change the battery within the 2 years.

[hlg8888]

The only good thing is that I frequently visit Vietnam, i'll check how much it costs and revert back.

Replacing a battery is much cheaper than upgrading. I for one will maintain my 4-year replacement cycle. I don't care for specs really.

Why does he face the phone away from the camera while taking off the chin? That's not a good way to show us what's what.

[deadcowboy]

That is such a messy looking internal design. iPhones seem clean and simply organized. The Classic seems as though they threw all the parts into a pot of glue.

At least the internal steel frame appears more robust than the Passport's. I can't wait to see if the ATT Passport has been updated with a crossbar to prevent twisting.
