Anybody here own the Sprint variant of the Galaxy Nexus? Or even the cheaper Nexus S 4G? Well you're in luck, because today Sprint is rolling out the android 4.1.1 Jellybean update to the devices! The update to the variant brings new features including Google Now, an improved notification and voice search system, offline dictation and, of course, a smoother UI that's made possible by Mountain View's now-famed Project Butter. As of today the OTA update will show as a notification on your device.
And according to the Sprint official forums, Nexus S 4G owners are up for an update. An employee at Sprint has told users that Jelly Bean updates for the Nexus S will be a "slow roll out," but that the new software should be coming to everyone here within about a week. A bug involving garbled text messages will also apparently be fixed. This has yet to be official announced on the official update page, so it's a bit less official, but it's still good news for people with the phone.
No news yet on Verizon although whispers can be heard throughout the internet and they say it will be pretty soon as the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Nexus LTE are the same as the Sprint variant hardware wise, they just have different model numbers.
