It’s real and it’s happening! For a few weeks now we’ve been teased that a Blackberry Torch 9810 would be headed over to T-Mobile.  We still don’t know when, but with all the leaks we’ve been getting, it has to be soon!  We got a few photos of a T-Mobile BlackBerry Torch 9810 arriving at a corporate store for display.  There are no actual live units yet but it’s pretty exciting to see it on another carrier other than AT&T.  As you guessed, it will run on T-Mobile’s 4G network and will support UMA.  Sweet! More photos after the jump.

The BlackBerry Torch 9810 was rumored to launch for T-Mobile which baffled us since we were under the assumption that AT&T had the device exclusively for a year.  This is the second time we see a the Torch 9810 surface in a T-Mobile system, which can only mean that it is indeed headed to the carrier.  Sadly there’s still no launch dates specified but we know it’s coming at least.

According to N4BB who heard a tip from a RIM NFC engineer, the company was asked by T-Mobile to specifically block out NFC capability via vendor ID.  This means that no matter what OS you install on your T-Mobile 9900, you won’t get NFC to work.

Surely the service isn’t usable at the moment, but in time RIM and other app developers have plans to take advantage of the feature. Bothered or does it really not matter to you?

I feel like T-Mobile users are already spoiled enough with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 that the Torch 9810 doesn’t even matter.  Of course that’s my own opinion and the carrier’s customers would speak better on the matter than anyone else.  The BlackBerry Bold 9900 offers both touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard solution in a really slim body and wide as the Bold 9000 which was favored by many.  The device sold out in less than 24 hours as well which only meant that the people wanted it.  Now there’s rumors that the BlackBerry Torch 9810 is headed to T-Mobile, and we’re just curious to see if anyone cares for it. The Torch 9860 is allegedly on the way as well which offers a full touchscreen solution, giving you the “multimedia powerhouse” as RIM refers to it.  Let us know your thoughts!

Boo hoo. We got the word from T-Mobile that they are no longer offering the BlackBerry Curve 9360 in the merlot color any longer due to “inventory constraints.”  When asking if it will be ever returning, it was uncertain.  The Curve 9360 is still being offered in black color though.  Might not be a big deal for many since black is usually the preferred color anyway.

When going t0 T-Mobile.com, it still shows as “coming soon” for the merlot colored edition.  I’m not sure if that will be removed off the site completely or maybe the color will come back soon enough.  Anyone hurt by the tragic news?

This one came out of no where and comes as a huge shocker if it’s true.  As far as we know, AT&T holds the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and newly released 9810 exclusively in the United States.  I guess we were mistaken as to how long the “exclusive” terms were for.  That’s only assuming this is true.  From what it looks to be is a roadmap from T-Mobile showing upcoming future devices, one of which is the Torch 9810.  In the screenshot it’s codenamed the BlackBerry “Dumoine.”  I don’t know about you, but the screenshot looks legit to me.  Who’s up for a Torch from T-Mobile?

It was unfortunate that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 launched for T-Mobile without UMA WiFi calling functionality.  Some wouldn’t of thought it was coming along down the road and perhaps saw it as a missing feature.  Luckily the BlackBerry Curve 9360 came with the feature out of the box.  CIO reported that T-Mobile has a OS update coming in November for the Bold 9900 which will enable UMA features once again.  The info came from T-Mobile PR.  Here’s the official notes:

• A maintenance release from RIM is expected for the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 in November 2011. That update will include Wi-Fi Calling functionality
• With the update, the Bold 9900 will have Wi-Fi Calling performance and benefits similar to T-Mobile’s other Wi-Fi Calling-enabled BlackBerry devices.

“Similar to T-Mobile’s other WiFi calling enabled BlackBerry devices” threw me off a bit, as it looks like T-Mobile is suggesting that it won’t be the same but similar.  For now we’ll just take it as the Bold 9900 getting UMA period until more surfaces at least.
