As a tbolt owner I know this is a sore subject but was wondering if you there are any screen shots of what it might look like?

I said this in the other thread. Why any Android owner would want their phone to be held back on older versions of software is just mind boggling and defies all modern progression mentalities.
The jump from Gingerbread to ICS is a huge one. You will feel as if you are holding a brand new phone. Sense 3.6 isn't visually significantly more improved over 2.1, you'll notice some things but for the most part it's the same old Sense experience with prettier animations and images. The main thing is whats under the hood of 4.0.x. ICS improves how the system functions dramatically, and Jelly Bean builds on this even more.
For the sake of testing I took my wife's Thunderbolt running Sense Gingerbread 2.3 and compared it to my Thunderbolt running Liquid-ICS 4.0.4 and I loaded up the web browser to compare smoothness and speed. The difference was unbelievable. The TBolt can actually scroll through pages zoomed in without stuttering and freezing it's amazing.
All I gotta say about ICS is you will enjoy it. Very much so. It bothers me that people make claims like "I don't want ICS." that really disappoints me. Those people have no idea what they're missing out on.
Will ICS let us do screen shots without root? Only reason I am looking to switch.
No leak. Liquid ICS. Data is on "1x" but speeds are 2-3 down. Comes with Nova Launcher and a bunch of other goodies. I don't BS, Tbolt owners will be very happy. Google Now works.
Looking at those screenshots reminds me of how much I dislike the font and blue color of ICS, the battery indicator and the static Google search bar that's on every screen (I know it can be hacked and removed though, but it's a lame implementation because they took away the capacitive search button). I actually prefer the look of Gingerbread and/or Sense, the fonts and white/green colors. It all reminds me of the changes Microsoft has made with Windows 7 (and even more so with the upcoming Windows 8). Guess I?m just a curmudgeon as I still prefer Windows XP too. LOL :-[
