*UPDATE* - So the OS was pushed out to some users this morning in error, this is what BlackBerry had to say:
“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.”
Timing things nicely with the launch of the BlackBerry Q10, AT&T is now rolling out the BlackBerry OS 10.1 upgrade to Z10 users. We saw OS 10.1 officially hit devices on other carriers across the globe recently, however US carriers were a bit late to the game. While many Z10 users are already running a leaked OS, those that waited it out can now grab the official version.
This one comes in the form of OS 10.1.0.2006 from AT&T.
OS 10.1 brings new features including HDR camera, battery life improvements, Skype, PIN messaging, updated apps and much more.
If you're using a Z10 on AT&T you can check for updates by heading to Settings > Software Updates. You should see the new OS available now (if not just check back later).

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...
PSA for AT&T Z10 owners: Your OS 10.1 update is still coming, just not today
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...
