How about posting some Jelly Bean Reviews?

Hey you lucky people that have the Jelly Bean update already...
how about posting some reviews??

Is the interface smoother??

Is the camera (stills/video) any better? It sure needs improvement.

How are the new notifications?

Do you have GOOGLE NOW... Now?

The interface does have a smoother feel to it, however in my case it seems to take up a few extra MB of memory so it seems slow when running several apps.

Is the camera (stills/video) any better? It sure needs improvement.
It seems to start-up and shoot faster, I can't comment on the picture quality since I don't use it much.

How are the new notifications?
They're really useful, you can preview the email/sms etc.. that triggered the notification.

Do you have GOOGLE NOW... Now?
ohhh yes, yes we do :D

I had some sync problems for about a day after installing the updates, but I cleared app data and It works normally now.
 
Got the update this morning. I didn't know it was Jellybean. It just said there was a system update available. It seems to work OK. Not noticing a huge improvement really, but be aware that Flash will not work in your browser anymore. I had installed an archived version for Android 4.0 and now cannot view any flash content in any of my browsers. Major :(
Oh, yeah, and still no app to SD card either! :O grrr!
 
Anyone else having the touch screen intermittently not working at all? I've missed a couple of really important phone calls because of it. The only way to get it working again seems to be pulling the battery (since I can't just reboot it). It's not okay.
 
Yes, but I thought it was me because I rooted my phone. Seems the screen does not work so I just hold the power button until it reboots. Since I have a case it is easier than a battery pull.
 
So far I've had no problems after wiping/formatting in CWM and flashing the rom zjones upped in the root section.

Has anyone noticed better touch responsiveness so far with JB? While I've always loved the phone, ever since I got it back in November there were constantly times where touch was either super, super sensitive or not sensitive enough. I'd have to tap icons two or three times sometimes for it to register and then sometimes while scrolling it would scroll entire pages down when all I meant to do was go down a couple paragraphs. This is the only time I ever had issues with touch in the 5 or 6 years I've had touch devices. It's a lot better with JB although not entirely perfect. I'm glad it wasn't a hardware issue at least.
 
For who use their phone for feature based JB is good but those who prefer battery life over forementioned it sucks azz.Keep in mind using these new features require additional power use
 
I'm regretting the JB update. Some important functions have become dramatically slower, most notably anything using GPS. Just starting Navigation, I have to wait nearly a minute before my location is found--before JP it used to come up after only a few seconds.

Another thing, it seems to me that the volume levels are dramatically reduced under JB. Has anyone else noticed that?

I really wanted the Galaxy Reverb to get Jelly Bean, but now I am also regretting this update!

The phone is much slower now, or at least the interface feels sluggish, the GPS has issues which can be fixed by toggling GPS on/off, and the volume levels do seem to be lower than before, especially when in phone calls.
