Anyone else have this turned on while using the beta software? I don't usually have this turned on but I thought, hey it might help Apple right?

I don't find it wastes that much battery at all, and does anyone know how often it sends the data back to Apple?

It's always good to have it turned on as it results in quicker fixes. During a beta it really should be on.
 
Just a question though. How do you delete/remove the diagnostics and usage data? My phone has been storing data since B1 and the "Others" section in iTunes gradually keeps growing bigger (you the part of iTunes when you plug in your phone and at the bottom it shows what is taking up most if your space) and I'm thinking that this data is taking up space.
 
I leave mine off. For what it's worth I'm not a beta user... but I've posted dozens of things that would make iOS better that have been left out over the last several incarnations. Apple doesn't take advantage of that information I give them... so why should I share my usage data with them?
