BlackBerry Bold 9790, BlackBerry Curve 9380, BlackBerry Torch 9810, BlackBerry Torch 9860 and Pure White BlackBerry Bold 9900 available in stores January 13

Manila, the Philippines – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced the launch of five new BlackBerry® smartphone models based on the BlackBerry® 7 Operating System (OS) in the Philippines. The latest additions to the BlackBerry 7 product lineup are BlackBerry® Bold™ 9790, BlackBerry® Curve™ 9380, BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810, BlackBerry® Torch™ 9860 and BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 in Pure White. The five new smartphone models are expected to be available from carriers and authorized retail channels in the Philippines on January 13.

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.
