                Unlike most predecessors, the Classic's battery isn't removable. It has a 2515 mAh battery that BlackBerry says provides up to 17.2 hours of GSM talk time and 15.2 days of standby time. The Q10 has a 2100mAH removable battery, for which BlackBerry claims up to 13.5 hours of talk time and 14.8 days of standby time.Dec 17, 2014
