@codemaker one more thing. OS 5.0 has some significant differences from and improvements over OS 4.5. Sure the basic layout of the OS is the same, but the browser on 5.0 is way better (especially when javascript is involved), app integration is better, threaded/chat style sms is supported, and there have been some UI enhancements. Perhaps these things are only obvious to blackberry addicts like myself...
The differences between OS 4.6/4.7 and 5.0 are less significant.
@codemaker There are quite a few subtle differences, but things like better memory management, the web browser was supposed to have tabs but they have stopped development on that awhile ago.
The biggest thing i love about 5.0 is it takes after the Storm with being able to hold the berry key to bring up the menu switcher on other devices (this was implemented in 4.7 and brought to other devices on 5.0)
There are a ton of improvements everywhere through the OS, very few of them are flashy other than the transitions used, most people wouldnt notice them unless they were hardcore berry users
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

No mention of the 2mp camera on the 8530 (no autofocus or flash) vs the 3.2mp cam with autofocus and led flash on the tour.
