Default 2 Operating Systems on my BB?

I had bought a BB 8130, but I had to get it sent away to get "fixed" I had just noticed that when my phone was returned it was actually the BB 8100 . I have had SO many little issues with this phone. The newest issue is that I had just noticed that there are 2 OS downloaded on this. Now I know that even with a computer you can only have 1 OS per hard drive, I know you can run 2 different ones, but I can't see it working on a BB.

Do I need 2 OS? Also if I should delete one does it matter which one I delete? They both look the exact same when I go into the details of it.

I don't know how you could have two OS's on one BlackBerry. What are you seeing that leads you to that conclusion?

I go to options-->advanced options-->applications-->and the first 2 things that are listed is blackberry 4.5.0. Is that the OS or is there 2 things that are loaded onto the BB with the same name?

On my Tour, I have two lines: BlackBerry 4.7.1 Core Applications and BlackBerry 4.7.1 System Software. If what you are seeing is analogous to that, that's normal.

Glad to help. A lot of questions can be answered by referring to the tutorials and FAQs located under the BlackBerry Help button at the top of the page, or by using the search function, but I don't think you'd have found your answer to this question in any of those places. You did a good job titling your post. That was sure to attract somebody's attention!
