We already had it on good authority that T-Mobile would be getting the BlackBerry Curve 9360 but things have been back and forth about the all touch Torch 9860. We know that RIM has an AWS version of the 9860 that would work on T-Mobile but we have been getting conflicting signals on if they decided to carry it in the end.
Thanks to TmoNews we have a leaked T-Mobile inventory screenshot showing both the Torch 9860 and Curve 9360 in their system.
For those of you who were looking for a full touch device on a GSM carrier stateside I hope this pans out! It would be T-Mobiles first all touch BlackBerry.
Thanks GP for sending this one in!

TELUS has been toying with the emotions of those people wanting to pick up the BlackBerry Torch 9860, though not intentionally of course. We’ve seen August 15th, 26th, and the 29th as release dates for the touchscreen BlackBerry, and now the latest word is that it will be available for purchase August 30th.
On the brighter side, RIM’s latest announcement, the BlackBerry Curve 9360, was rumored to be launching late September then pushed up to the end of August. It looks now that this estimate has been pinned down to August 26th on TELUS which is right around the corner. No word on pricing yet for these devices, but I’m sure that will be available before you know it.
Verizon will carry RIM’s new BlackBerry Torch 9850, according to a picture of a leaked advertisement obtained by CrackBerry. It is still unclear when the phone will launch, but given that it is pictured next to the aging Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play, we suspect Verizon could make the announcement in the near future. RIM revealed the Torch 9850 in early August and we had a chance to check it out first-hand during an event in Toronto. The web browser is much improved, we appreciated the thin form factor and the phone’s 1.2GHz processor zipped around BlackBerry OS 7. The BlackBerry Torch 9850 is equipped with a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, 8GB of storage and a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording 720p video.
Sprint and Verizon have both announced or been rumored to be getting the BlackBerry Torch 9850, and now US Cellular is joining them. According to the US Cellular website you’ll be able to pick one of these up for $199 on a two year contract, after a $100 mail-in-rebate. With an official release date of August 26th, are you holding out for the new Torch 9850? Thanks for the tip John!

*OS Disclaimer – Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT a.n official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you’re comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. Do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). *
