Do you upgrade or do you put the iDevice in DFU-Mode, restore and set it up as new?
Good
Me neither. It's so easy to do an OTA update, but the iDevice may not be running as smooth as it could...I haven't expirenced any bugs yet. So I guess I'll be fine if the next release is GM. But the longer, the better.
The update file means nothing. That just means when the device will next check for an update, same as the summary screen for a device in iTunes.
Cos they have no idea probably or hope to generate traffic
That code came up around beta 3 as sites thought it was a schedule then it changed and it was realised what it actually was and it was debunked as this back then.
Apple Not launch beta on this friday, saturday & sunday.. maybe next friday GM will be relaese..
Unstablest? Is that even a word? And I have no idea what you're talking about. Besides the lack of compatibility with the majority of tweaks from iOS 4, it blows away iOS 4 IMO.
Correct mate
I'm using ios 5 beta 7 and I think it's great
As its a beta there has been some issues with Facebook and some Apps not working ir freezing .....
But apart from that it's been brilliant on my iPhone 4
Either using banner or Alerts is the best bit lol, love how on banner the block turns to show a new MSG etc then turns again
Brilliant

In fairness even on my 4.3 facebook lags and when i type on forums on my iphone 4 it lags when i type too..so that happens even on 4.3..nevermind a beta for ios 5.
thats not iOS's fault, the dev will fix it, but fix won't be out until iOS 5 is released at the earliest
I'm totally convinced GM is Sep 28, the same day as the Event and the release of iTunes 11 (Or iTunes 10.5).
I think they skipped Beta 8 and went straight to GM, there's no way in heck we have time for a B8 and then 3-4 weeks for a GM then a week or two to public. That's almost pushing it into November with those release dates.
The longest gap between betas in iOS 5 is 18 days (Which was Beta 1-2). Today the 18th is 18 days after Beta 7 which will make it the longest gap between releases. Final beta to GM is always the longest wait so that's why I'm convinced.
I think these next 2 weeks are going to be awesome, I for one can barely even wait.
