I read of a couple ways to root this device. Is the skyrocket easy root the best way to do it?

Yes it is if your phone is on android version 2.3.5 it will not work with 2.3.6. If your on 2.3.5, and you use this method. Just download rom manager from the market and choose to install cwm recovery for the tmobile galaxy s2 with it, and you will be set
Thanks man

This should help
First of all, there is no official Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S III.
Second of all, the only working (as in functioning but not for daily use) port of Jelly Bean is for the i9300 (international model) only.
Thirdly, buying a carrier-specific model was the worst mistake you could make. You have a locked bootloader on your Verizon version, and on top of that, you'll be one of the last people to get the update, if Verizon even feels like pushing it out.
Short answer: Don't waste your breath.

I could use some help with this too. Specifically, is it possible for me to unroot it if required (clearing any traces of having rooted) ?
Anyone know if the 5110 can be rooted when already on jellybean.?

Yes it can definetely be rooted after jellybean update, i know because I just done it about 2 hours ago and just about to flash cm10
I used odin and chainfires autoroot then used rom manager to update recovery.

I brought a galaxy nexus off internet from Hong Kong a few months back now. All is working good and pleased with phone. I haven't got software update yet and currently running 4.1.1
Does anybody know why ? And how can I get the android update please.
Thanks.

Well, in this particular case, Google is your friend.

Thanks. I've tried this but still no joy. Maybe I should just sit tight and wait it out.

Ever think about rooting? Update whenever you want to
You can do like me when I first root my gnex download nexus root toolkit unlock boot loader and download factory image from Google "just google nexus factory image" download the one you want. Flash it using factory reset tool from tool kit and root if you want you can even relock bootloader

Thanks for the tips. Will try rooting option.

ppl always confuse updating the software with rooting. You DO NOT need to root your device to update it. Not at all! I also always advise not to except you really need to usr some specific app. To update your GN you just need unlocked bootloader and fastboot.exe.
I cannot post links yet but just google for android factory images and go the the google site and get the one for yakju or takju/for google wallet/.
