Now I'm nervous I'm gonna have a bricked phone for a bit.

apple needs to release the beta already to take away some stress I have of not knowing if I'm going to have a working phone or not.
 
It's gonna suck if I can't continue to work on a app and also get stuck with a dead phone since I am supposed to leave on a trip with limited internet access for 4 days! Time to break out the Nokia backup phone for my trip just in case...

You installed the beta on a non-beta-only-testing-device? Shame on you! :D
 
The 4 first betas was released on tuesdays, but the last one was a wednesday. so lets hope :)
 
Look I think I can see ya you really shouldn't put the 3.0 software on your primary phone,(which I did) which is fine, but how many people want to buy a second device for just testing, plus if your working on an App and your device is bricked for a few days how does that help you? You might want to do device testing so if your device is bricked i cant see that helping...just saying..:)
 
I've been enjoying Beta 5. It feels Release Candidate. To nit-pick, the WiFi menu has a delay once you tap it and I get the Searching... at strange times.
 
yeah beta 5 loses signal multiple times a day and the keyboard because invisible at times there is horrible lag when accessing the settings menu i think overall its crappy

You would think with Beta 5 having such a huge issue with everyone losing their network connection again and again all day they would get something out sooner. Instead this is the longest we've had to wait for a updated beta release yet, so go figure.

Im waiting for the June annoucements and 3.0 full release and if thats not up to my liking im ready to early terminate and get rid of my 3g iphone and maybe grab a new touch if it ever gets a camera and just use a virgin mobile 49.99 unlimited phone for calls only.
