    Re: Difference in Phone with ICS and Ginger Upgrade to ICS

    Too many changes to mention. Top of my mind:

    - Droid font is replaced by Roboto
    - Holo theme
    - New People hub
    - Resizable widgets
    - New multitasking UI
    - Virtual buttons in UI (depends on device, though)
    - Drag & drop of one app on another creates a folder
    - Take a screenshot is provided by OS
    - Much better copy/paste UI/implementation
    - Face unlock
    - Updated Photo gallery & new picture editor
    - Data usage monitor
    - Updated camera app with built-in panorama mode
    - HW acceleration for UI

    Loads of SDK changes, for devs.

    OP If you are trying to ask if there is any difference in buying a phone which comes with ICS pre-installed and the one with GB but is upgradable to ICS then as far as I know there is no difference

    AFAIK, there is no difference in two.
    @CPG: I think you have wrongly interpreted the OP statement. Correct me if i am wrong.
