There is no change in functionality over iOS 4.
Gotta head to bed. I'll check the thread tomorrow if you want to request any screenshots or have any other questions (I just don't have the time to edit any personal info out right now).
Got a tip for us?

I do hope that Apple will eventually get rid of that horrible oversized clock and ugly swipe bar at the bottom of the lock screen. Don't get me wrong I've Jailbroken and used some of the available utils to get rid of them - but the Jailbroken community represents a very small percentage of the total iPhone user base. So come on Apple - Let's get a total revamp of that lock screen. I am on my own here? I feel that Apple is slightly behind the curve when compared to some of the Android releases - which is a shame because it was once the handset that set the standard.
Feel free to comment!

^I don't think it looks all that bad. In iOS 5, Apple is adding a lot of lockscreen functionality. (from apps they killed in the App Store: LockScreen Info, WiFi Sync, etc)
Unfortunately, in regards to the calendar it all appears to be 'reminder' driven and not event driven. This poses a significant problem for me. It is hard enough to keep my schedule, if I had to set reminders for everything I do, I'd go nuts. If I set reminders for the major stuff, the minor stuff will go un-noticed. (I can't be expected to continually open my calendar app during the day).
I'm excited to see what the iPhone 5 brings, but regardless, functionality is already shown in iOS 5.
A thinner phone with a larger screen, faster processor and more memory isn't going to add to functionality, just make it smoother.
Perhaps I'll need to revisit iOS 5 after it is jailbroken with many apps to address what I need, or just all together wait for iOS 6.
