I don't need to argue for "rooters". Rooting your device doesn't put you in some special club with cash back rewards
What?!?!?
Well ain't that a kick in the...................

I haven't read any of the responses, but I bet I can guess at the jist of them.
I'll only say that I'll take this, obtained inside a factory located in some of the most remote region of BFE Midwest farmland. I'll take widespread 4G like this any day over the minor updates listed on the latest JB update. YMMV.

I'm impressed, but not surprised that you, and a lot of other people here feel the need to justify the poor decision making skills that Verizon Wireless has displayed in pushing out the Jelly Bean update to one of their hottest selling phones. I love the way carriers will bend over backwards for Apple, but give other OEMS the backseat when it comes to priority. Sure LTE is fun, and loading my favorite YouTube videos, and websites faster all the while crushing through my data at an alarming rate is fun. I've expected more from AT&T, and Verizon but maybe that was poor judgement on my end. Either way this thread was made out of frustration after seeing that Canada would be getting the update before us. Little did I know we would also be getting the update immediately following.
I'm glad so many people here like to jump to conclusions based on my initial post, but I know I'm not alone in thinking that AT&T, and VZW need a faster way to push out updates to their top tier phones! /rant
EDIT: To the Moderators here sorry for any trouble I may have caused by this thread, but at the time of writing I was genuinely frustrated by the lack of update, and needed to vent!
Really NOT enjoying the Jelly Bean buttery smoothness... My GS3 just keeps rebooting over and over. AT&T... thanks for that.

On my end it's much smoother, apps open quicker, and I also love that part of the email is readable from the notification pull down.I don't see the problem here. Why shouldn't we have gotten it before you? Our dollar is worth more than yours! (Where's my compensation for all those times I went to the USA back in the 90s and I only got $0.60...if that.... to your dollar?)
I still don't think I noticed a huge "buttery smoothness" increase after installing 4.1.1 on my SGS3...maybe I just got used to it very quickly, and forgot how "slow and laggy" it was prior, but I'm thinking not.

Pretty intense on the email front. I get my work email, and gmail here and never usually have a massive amount of mail like you do before I'm checking my inbox so for me it works out perfectly.Glad you like it, not as big of a deal for me. The "preview" on emails for me is pretty meh as far as I'm concerned, as you can see....I'm lucky to get 3 words for a preview.
Heh...just cleared my messages, and got a new one. I see what you mean. Most of the time I leave Sync off, for battery reasons. I have enough distractions during the day, my emails usually wait until I'm done work.
