Wireless services provider T-Mobile has just announced the upcoming availability of a new BlackBerry smartphone on its airwaves, namely the BlackBerry Torch 9810, which is expected to be put up for sale on its network starting with November 9th.

The new mobile phone is already available for pre-order for T-Mobile business customers, but will hit shelves only next week, featuring a price tag of $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and following the signing of a two-year contract agreement with the wireless carrier.

T-Mobile plans on making the new device available via all of its retail stores around the country, as well as through select dealers and national retailers, and on its website.

“T-Mobile USA Inc. today announced the upcoming availability of the BlackBerry Torch 9810, the latest 4G BlackBerry smartphone to join America’s Largest 4G Network,” the wireless carrier announced.

The same as the latest BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion, the new device runs under the BlackBerry 7 OS platform.

Moreover, the handset packs a fast 1.2GHz application processor, as well as a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with LED flash and support for 720p HD video recording.

“The BlackBerry Torch 9810 combines a brilliant 3.2-inch TFT VGA capacitive touch-screen display with a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard for a truly efficient and intuitive mobile communications experience,” the wireless carrier notes.

“Encased in a sleek and stylish form factor with a zinc grey color finish, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 is equipped with essential smartphone features, including access to BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), personal and corporate e-mail, and social networking applications.”

Not to mention that the mobile phone features support for a wide range of applications and games available for download via the BlackBerry App World, as well as for various mobile services that are available for other BlackBerry devices as well.
