The "Classic" isn't Classic, I can't get over the Non-Removable Battery and SOC "Classic" / PassPort
- Listen, I have had the "Classic" yet it isn't panning out when all things are considered.
Why name this device the "Blackberry Classic" with NON REMOVABLE BATTERY ! The battery size isn't even that big. I made two phone calls one about 11 minutes, the other 15min.....I use SMS/BBM throughout the day and that is IT aside receiving less than 5 emails today. While I have my Note 4 connected via Bluetooth playing music while I am at work all day, ALL my social media apps no voice or sms on this line since no one has the number lol and only one gmail account.
I HATE using my device while it is charging so I buy spare batteries
Note 4 had 52% battery at around 6:20pm when I checked it and the Classic is currently on the charger since I may be going out later on I can't risk it with it already being at 31%
Not to mention the SOC ...while for what "I" primarily use it for, I can "accept it" but c'mon it is a time in day where you have got to go all or nothing! and from a financial perspective it is hard to accept a pretty significant price tag considering the hardware you get in return. Period. Whether the software can support it or not.
Hopefully the Clasic 2 Q30 does things the right way and I can justify the purchase. Only thing now is I have got to find a new replacement device LOL...I am going to miss this keyboard sooooooooo bad though. Maybe I am just on my period and need to vent LMAO....idk but I am pretty bummed I kept going back n forth but I do love the feel of the device, a bit sluggish at times but I digress, I wish they would have really made the "Classic" ......a classic01-23-15 06:41 PMLike 0 - Many of 'us' 99 users felt the same way pre launch. Very few people carry 2 spares and do battery pull 3-4x day with the 9900. I have learned to work around this with the Classic. I use 10,000mAh external battery charger and carry it in a 2nd holster with a 12" jumper. $23.00

I don't care to carry around a charger that has to be connected to the device I have an Evecase that holds my devices, so I keep my Note 4 with me and interchange it out as needed but th battery does last me all day.
I do not get long battery time on the Classic and it is disappointing I can't interchange the battery01-23-15 07:37 PMLike 0 - So far that battery life isn't typical with many Classic users. In fact I have 2 email addresses Twitter Facebook. CB surfing and media as well during the day...and I'm at 24 % at 850pm. 13 hrs 4 mins since off the charger.
No Android apps for me but I know others who have many Android apps and the battery lasts just as long.

- This has also been a concern to me, moving over from Bold 9900. I don't like the idea either of a non-removable battery.
However, having had the Classic in use for just under 2 weeks now, I would agree that the battery life is really not that bad at all - better than my 9900 had with its slightly uprated third-party battery. Indeed, it's actually quite good. I'm typing this at 19:21 and the battery is on 76% - albeit this has been a work day so I don't play with my (personal) phone much at work...
Yes, I would still prefer to have the insurance of a spare battery - but the issue doesn't so far seem to be as serious as I thought it would be.
I would agree with the above poster that the battery seems to take a few days' charging/discharging cycles to reach optimum performance.
Could the original poster possibly have a phone with a below-par battery - suggest she raise it with the retailer?eji930 likes this.01-28-15 01:23 PMLike 1 - This has also been a concern to me, moving over from Bold 9900. I don't like the idea either of a non-removable battery.

I'm just used to running my note 4 to 4% and popping in a fresh battery and back active in less than 44sec. I dont prefer to use my device while its on the charger, espcially since this device has a port right below the keyboard which makes typing difficult.

I would really be doing some soul searching about my occupation or my environment if I were having to drain a Z30 and newer BB10 device during a 9-5. Im generation X and there is no way I want to work that mobil or on a little screen all of the time. Screw that mr stupid manager boss.01-28-15 06:57 PMLike 0
- I've had the Classic for a couple of days. Early observations:
Love the keyboard, love the size, love 10.3.
Like the utility belt, like the battery life.
Dislike the weight, dislike the return button closing apps (has screwed me a couple of times already).
I like this phone, but I think the belt is a step backwards after the Q10. I would have preferred a larger screen and no belt. Also, it's too heavy for me. Compared to my 5S, it's crazy. Great phone for biz, that's all.
Does the stock charger really make a difference on charging and battery life?
