I guess this means goodbye to the T-Mobile BlackBerry Torch 9810. T-Mobile has decided to pull the device after only being on the market for roughly 8 weeks. My curiosity had gotten the best of me so I went down to my local T-mobile store to find out what happened. Of course after being in the store for a few minutes I began to draw a conclusion on why the device was placed as EOL.
The cost of the BlackBerry Torch 9810 with a contract was 300$. That is more than most of the other smartphones that T-Mobile carries, and the same price of the very popular BlackBerry Bold 9900. After watching the employees in the store sell for a few minutes I noticed almost every single phone that was being recommended was an android device (most of these interactions were customers not knowing what phone to purchase and the sales representatives recommendation was an android device almost every time). With these factors it’s no wonder why the device is being EOL’ed at such a short self life.

Now all the major players have leaked and official builds of OS 7.1! Here’s OS 7.1.0.190 for the BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Torch 9860. We saw a hybrid build of OS 7.1 for the Torch 9810 in the past, but it wasn’t stable in anyway. Mobile hotspot worked at least. So these are leaked versions still but download and install at your own risk. On the Bold 9900, this same OS came to be really stable, performing better than other 7.0’s in my opinion. Give it a shot and let us know!

AT&T is known for releasing OS updates pretty late. That’s why this one comes up as a shocker since it is an updated build. The BlackBerry Torch 9810 got an official update to day from AT&T to OS 7.0.0.583. Most folks are crazed over OS 7.1 now, especially since Sprint customers received the update officially for BlackBerry 7 devices. In the meantime, a stable OS is still good to have.
It doesn’t look like the update is available on BlackBerry’s OS page yet but keep your eye open. If you’re an AT&T customer, you can check it out in Wireless Update.

Miscellaneous Thoughts »
AT&T is definitely throwing people off here. The all new BlackBerry Torch 9810 is referred to as the “BlackBerry Torch 4G” at AT&T, but shows H+ on the screen which stands for HSPA+. The AT&T BlackBerry Bold 9900 is also claimed to be “4G,” but is still titled the “BlackBerry Bold 9900” on the box rather than “BlackBerry Bold 4G.” On the screen it shows 4G as the connection and not H+. Confusing for some, but based on what AT&T told me which could be total BS, the Bold 9900 is 4G capable with AT&T’s real 4G bump up from HSPA+.

OS 7.0.0.440 is available for three devices from AT&T- the BlackBerry Torch 9810, Torch 9860, and Bold 9900. I’ve tried the Torch 9810 9860 OS so far, and it’s a lot more stable than what we’ve seen out of the box and I have definitely seen battery life increases here as well. Click the link below to grab a copy for any of the three.
UPDATE: Oops. We screwed up. Tip we received stated Torch 9810 was one of the ones updated but we’re to blame for not validating. Sorry folks!
