The device is powered by a 3.7V battery with a capacity of 1400 mAh, which delivers a life that can last through a full workday, though actual performance may vary based on usage.

Another significant characteristic of the BlackBerry 8350i is its robust and rugged build. It is designed to withstand tough environmental conditions, with features such as water resistance and dust protection. This durability makes it a dependable choice for field work and other challenging scenarios.
