That's good to know....At least we'll finally have our binaries.

Definitely good news if this is true.

My husband is getting a gnex his week. I'm going to
root it. I know with other manufacturers, accepting updates is not advised, but considering the gnex is a "developer" phone, is it okay to update to JB before I root it?

Yep just follow the guide I posted (link is in my sig) for the Galaxy Nexus it will work on any OS build.

So its okay to take the OTA?

Yeah as long as you haven't installed a custom recovery yet. I will probably take it tomorrow.

Google has used the same bootloader lock since the Nexus One so as far as we know they are never going to change it. It is the same on the GSM version of Jelly Bean as it is on ICS so I asume it won't be changed for the Sprint version.

Looks like sprint has also update their support site. Still have yet to see it pushed out though. Find and update the software version on your Galaxy Nexus

It'll be a slow update I've heard

 

[MizzouBrent]

Tried updating my wife's phone any no update available yet.
