Yeah, it's completely buggy and glitchtastic. Media seems to be really bugged out, but they should be coming out with beta updates fairly often.
It looks so damn good...soo damn good...just needs to work right.

I would. Do you have any other ios devices? I don't care enough that i regret the bugged out OS, however, some people may not be so tolerant of random resets and crashes or closing apps...or apps generally not working. I'll just list some bugs that I've had, there might be some more...
Tumblr: closes sometimes if trying to add photos. in-app camera takes a few moments to activate...I've also had it work just fine
Snapchat: sometimes closes when trying to send captured video or picture...also works just fine sometimes
Messages: sometimes freezes entirely and I have to reset the phone...also has worked just fine
Camera: has crashed trying to open and takes a moment to open the "shutter"...also has worked faster than the old one and took pictures faster than I was aware taking pics
Gmail: has shut down entirely while trying to open a email in the inbox...also has worked just fine
Chrome: shuts down while loading sometimes...has worked just fine and also has a restore that allows me to resume where I was
Alien Blue: will shut down trying to load some threads...also worked just fine other times
Spotify: No problems at all
Youtube: has shut down while loading something...also has worked perfectly
Music: has worked just fine
Settings: has shut down while browsing options...also has worked just fine
So as you can see it's a matter of chance, but nothing is serious in my opinion. It's not really important to me if I upload photos to tumblr or if I can't send a video or photo on snapchat...it doesn't really mean anything, so fuck it. Phone works, messaging usually works...and i bet their email probably works better than gmail. All these things are getting resolved.
My biggest complaint is in calendar. Usually when you look at a month blips appear to allow you to know what days have events. You have to know on this one, although, I just read there's a search function to allow you to see a list view as well...so not that serious.

Oh, I didn't know it killed 4s as well. Should have assumed though, since they're "cheap" from AT&T now. This is exactly what happened when I got my iphone 3. Right after they went down to $100 from AT&T os 4 comes out and bricks the motherfucker. So I had a not-smart-at-all phone for two years until I upgraded to 4s. Fucking douches.

I'm an ios developer. I got the beta a few weeks ago. It kinda seems like normal iphone stuff just reskinned. The first beta totally killed my battery life and was kind of buggy for me. The second beta came out a week or so ago and it's been smooth sailing since. I like it for the most part. It's still probably got a month - 3 months before it's all tidied up and ready to ship

I think it's called iOS 7 beta 2. One should be dropping in about a week. I think they're doing two week sprints but I'm not sure.
