BlackBerrys aren't all that much different. The 8700 series and certain phones in the 8100 series aren't getting all the same features with the 4.5 upgrade that the 8300 and 8800 series is getting. 4.6 is pretty much guaranteed to leave the 8700 series out altogether and will likely only offer partial upgrades to the 8300 series, the 8800 series, and the 8100 series.
It is just called technology. BlackBerry is generally a more usable and stable device than anything with Windows Mobile on it, but it isn't exempt from the things you are talking about.
Anyway, upgrades to the Bold consist of:
-Faster processor
-More Flash memory for system and application use
-1gig of storage memory on board (first time a BB has ever had standalone storage memory built in) + the ability to use SD cards up to 16gb in size
-Higher resolution screen
-3G, WiFi, and GPS all in one device
All in all, it is just a better device.

I agree, my friend has an 8525 running WINMO 6.0 with touch flo, and it actually runs smoother than the stock ROM. Better than the T-Mo wing which ships with 6.0 natively( funny enough the specs of the 8525 are better than the newer wing.... better processor, 3G... )... as far as the BOLD goes, it is the pinnacle of Blackberry technology. I for one will be selling my 8320 when the Bold hits. It is the device I have been waiting for RIM to release.
