Enjoy it!!!! Google Now is awesome, but be aware that having alot if the functions enabled will help drain your battery quick. Its super smooth as you said and just, to me at least, alot more stable.
As to now what......You can make all of us on Verizon jealous by having it!!!! (I am running the "unofficial" release from a couple of weeks ago lol). Enjoy!!!

Mostly it is smoother. And putting icons on the launcher is nicer with widget resizing and such.
JB isn't a huge difference functionally than ICS. It's ICS but smoother. I mean, not to downplay the work that went into it. But it's lots of small stuff. It's not an obvious difference like GB to ICS was.

Well that's reflected in the fact that ICS is android 4.0 and jellybean is android 4.1. Its an incremental update.
Gingerbread to ics was android 2.3.x to 4.0 so that obviously brought huge changes.

My MMS texts often get stuck on "sending" if I among WiFi under ICS Sprint G-Nex. I haven't tested JB enough. I created a thread at AC.

For MMS you need 3g on to send and receive.

MMS often sends fine if WiFi happens to be connected.

Doesn't the phone temporarily switch over to data when you send/receive mms? My phone is nearly always on WiFi when I'm at home, and I send/receive mms just fine.
jb is pretty much the same thing as ics. no amazing changes.

There are pretty significant differences between the two versions. Look up the comparisons on Google.

Here's the list of added features and improvements. Personally, I like the expandable notifications in the drop down menu.

If ICS to JB wasn't a quantum leap for you, something's wrong with your phone.
JB finally met or I would say exceeded iPhone's user interface for silky smooth perfection. Add Google Now's intuitive ability to tell me what I want to know, without asking, I'm blown away!
I told Google where home was. I told it where work was. That is all. It knows what time I usually leave and gives me a traffic updates 15 minutes in advance, both to work and home.
It knows my favorite baseball team. It keeps me updated on the next game, scores while a game is in progress and final scores.
If the thing gets any more intelligent it's going to be asking me, "Dave, just what do you think you're doing?"
How do I let Google know where home is and or work? Is it a card?
Also are there other cards to download or are all the sample cards all of them?

You don't seem to be that pleased with your phone.
Perhaps you'd be happy with an iPhone. I hear you can get one with Virgin Mobile USA!
the inevitable "i'm blown away" posts...

this doesn't make any sense.
