The update documents detail the Droid Bionic 98.72.22.XT875.Verizon.en.US update which includes Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
The Droid Bionic Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update should arrive soon.
Verizon typically updates this support page a few days before the update starts rolling out over the air to users.

The update also delivers enhanced notifications which let users take actions right from the notification panel.

Your report is totally bogus. Verizon has not approved anything because the soak test hasn’t even occured yet! Invites have gone out for the soak but the actual soak has yet to start. Verizon would not approve an update without it being tested first. I have confirmed that the soak is still on it’s way but hasn’t begun yet for reason’s I don’t know. So hold off on your reporting until you have “confirmed” information or seek a better source!

not to mention that the build listed in the bogus flyer (22) was so full of bugs they’d never push it… 23 is supposed to be the reported final for the soak test

I just got the update on my Bionic and the internet connection is no longer working at all. I have tried removing the battery and resetting the phone. Not a fan of this update!
