Just looked at the release notes. They fixed a lot of stuff it looks like and not that many new bugs. Look's a little more solid, but this just by reading release notes and not using the new Beta 5.

I'm not getting anything from Settings>General>Software Update. Maybe an OTA update will release later today?

I got the ota update on my iPhone with no problem on first time checking.

[Loves2spoon]

To install iOS 5 beta 5 using over the air software update, you must first erase all content and settings on your device by choosing Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Over the air software update can be initiated on devices running iOS 5 beta 3 and later by choosing Settings > General > Software Update.

The 5.0b4 OTA update won't work on JB devices due to an explicit check of /Applications..almost like a present from Apple

I agree what's the point of an OTA update if I still have to restore my device?

I updated 3 devices all loaded with content and media. No problems.

It's almost as if they are trying to do some sort of "beta testing" with it or something. Crazy Apple!
