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.

A few days ago we let you know that OS 7.1 would be officially releasing for the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and Torch 9850.  It looks like some users are starting to get the update in today officially.  You still can’t pick up the official desktop download from Verizon, but it should be flying over the air to your device shortly.  Let us know if you get the update!

I’ve been curious to see where RIM would go with its next generation model numbers since we’ve reached numbers as high as 9930 and 9981. According to the system for Asurion which is a company that insures mobiles, a BlackBerry Torch 10000 for AT&T is listed. This device could and SHOULD be the new QNX (BlackBerry 10) enabled BlackBerry smartphone It looks like RIM is going with 5 digit model numbers now instead of the 4 since they ran out. This is interesting.

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!
