Well that was fun.
The OS 10.1 update that was posted earlier today has since been pulled. While it was live for a few hours this morning, it wasn't actually supposed to be pushed to devices today - at all.
It looks like someone flipped a switch a bit too soon, as BlackBerry has issued the following statement this afternoon:
“Earlier today BlackBerry OS 10.1 for the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone on AT&T was posted in error. We are working closely with AT&T to provide the official BlackBerry OS 10.1 update soon. If you are an AT&T customer with a BlackBerry Z10 smartphone and you received a software update notification please disregard.”
So while quite a few AT&T Z10 users were able to snag the update this morning (myself included) it looks like anyone that didn't act fast will have to wait it out a bit longer. The update should be coming along soon though, so just hold onto your short pants a big longer (and don't shoot the messenger!).

Digging into how carriers roll out BlackBerry OS updates
Last week, AT&T cut short the rollout of a 10.1 update to the BlackBerry Z10. This is no doubt frustrating for AT&T customers who only have to glance sideways to their Z10-toting buddies on T-Mobile who are enjoying a generous batch of new features. So what’s the deal? The short answer is that BlackBerry had pushed out the update before AT&T had completed their technical...
