Ok so I should have rephrased it. For a first beta it's running as can be expected... My battery life hasn't suffered and that's my main concern. It's running pk for a first beta...
How's it running on your iPhone se?
Got a tip for us?

I upgraded to B1 using dev profile last Friday. Everything was great, a few stutters here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary, and strangely, pretty usable for a B1. Although since Monday, things have been going downhill. There is a huge bug on the keyboard, that renders the phone completely unusable, locking every app that access the keyboard. I've tried disabling swift key, but it happens with the standard keyboard as well. I have to do a hard reset a few times to make it work again. If B2 doesn't come out tomorrow, and fixes this, I'm going back to 9.3.3.
Why is this happening after three days of using it, is beyond me.
Am I alone here?

Actually since monday I have started to see strange things also. Weather app not working on the watch, some apps on the phone do not launch. Very strange. Was working fine before.
I got a new bug out of nowhere. I am no longer able to send pictures in iMessage. It always fail to deliver. It was working fine this morning. Just stopped working out of the blue. Very strange. Gonna have to restore back to 9.3.3 beta 4.

still working for me, try a reboot.
Well, after having a nightmare of a phone Monday and Tuesday, it stabilized itself yesterday, and so far it has been much less issues. Keyboard is working fine. Some notifications still are not responding well, and Mac ID is disconnecting to my Macbook Pro randomly, but is way more usable now.
This is so much strange how this came from good, to horrible, to good again. Is this the new Organic software we've been hearing lately

I went back to ios 9.3.3 yesterday because of the MMS issue with iMessage. I read it got fixed, so I reinstalled ios 10 beta 1 this morning. The MMS issue IS fixed, but for some reason, this new reinstall of ios 10 beta is buggier than ever. The text messages have the wrong names and pictures, there's a delay when unlocking the phone and the wallpaper appears like 1 second later, it's just a messy install.
It's unfortunate because my previous install of ios 10 beta was smooth as butter and bug-free. I'm gonna have to reset all settings and I really don't want to. So I'm hoping beta 2 comes out today otherwise I am seriously done and going back to 9.3 and calling it a day.

Honestly, and I dont mean this in a snarky or mean way, you probably should stick with 9.3. This beta is for development work, not for daily drivers. I think, if you read your own post, you know 9.3 is the answer for you. These bugs and slowness will continue to plague us for another month or two.
Thx I know, I'm a developer, and I have iOS 10 installed on my second dev device too, but was so satisfied with performance that put it on my daily driver too, hoping beta 2 is more polished.
Have been using it for two weeks now. 6s+. Still almost as good as 9.3.2. Had maybe 3-4 resprings in this time. Did a couple of Keynote presentations in front of audience. I was a bit nervous if it would freeze right in the middle, but everything went smooth.
I also don't see any worse battery time than before.
Completely sold on "raise to wake" so I hope I won't have to revert back to v9.

I downgraded back to 9.3.2 after a week with iOS 10 as after about 4 days or so I started getting much more re-springs than I was at the beginning. I miss raise to wake SO MUCH though.
I had my first real hiccup today. My phone was ringing and I had to answer it on my apple watch because the phone never actually recognized it had an incoming phone call.
I was able to use handoff though to finish the call on my phone.

I cant complain using ios10 as a daily driver.
Battery Life is not the best, but acceptable.
Anyway.. 2 Things bothered me: My Bank PushTan App does not work anymore (no Banking until reverting back or App update) and: I cant rely on my Phone or Watch when sending messages.
Sometimes Messages dont deliver, sometimes keyboard dont poping up, sometimes Phone is laggy and getting hot, out of nowhere.
If this is fixed in B2 I would be happy

Those are exactly my symptoms.
same, even though i did revert back. ios 10 beta 1, BETA ONE. is the BEST beta for a major ios (ie: 8->9, 9->10 etc) i ever seen ever since i used apple devices. if i had to, i could easily use it daily.
I rely too much on my iPhone 6 Plus to use Beta iOS but I tip my hats to the users that do and report bugs back to Apple.
9.3.3 is very good.. very. good.
u can easily test any beta, just backup to itunes (NOT icloud) first, try it for an hour or so, if u dont like then RESTORE to previous ios, then restore ur backup before u accumulate too much new data. never try to restore to previous ios without restoring backup.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.
In my experience an iOS can be reported from being very good to good to poor for others.
User experiences / expectations differ.
Different iPhone models seem to yield different results and also possibly from what the end user has downloaded onto it.
I'm on iOS 9.3.2 which for me is very stable on my phone so I'm not really wanting to possibly affect that.
In a nutshell I'm a follower , not a leader.
I'm in the same boat. iOS 10 was running very well for me on my 6s, for well over a week. However, in the past day or so, the keyboard has been acting up. Auto-capitalization and auto-correction no longer work and any app that calls up the keyboard basically freezes for over 10 seconds until the keyboard pops up. It's made my phone nearly unusable for typing anything.Well, after having a nightmare of a phone Monday and Tuesday, it stabilized itself yesterday, and so far it has been much less issues. Keyboard is working fine. Some notifications still are not responding well, and Mac ID is disconnecting to my Macbook Pro randomly, but is way more usable now.

My iPad Pro 9.7 still works perfectly though. These keyboard issues weren't plaguing me from the beginning, otherwise I would have restored then and there. It's so strange to have it randomly pop up without any way to fix it. I'm just going to wait and hope it fixes itself or try to hang until Beta 2.
Using it as a daily from day 1.
So far the best Beta 1 I've ever used. There is the occasional hiccup and reboot, but other than that it is pretty stable.

My phone is my gps, my emergency call, my bank app, my social life, and access to my data and I just have to depend on it. I don't want to risk lying in a ditch not knowing where I am and not being able to use it due to a bug. So, dev beta? No. Probably not.
My iPad Air 2? Yes, but I am waiting for the public beta. They are only a week after the dev ones and have big showstoppers usually addressed. The iPad is for serious stuff as well. But if it doesn't work due to a bug then the iPhone can take over that one particular task.
Yup same boat. Annoying Java errors in safari and predictive text has become comical. Otherwise it's fine. Don't get people who are angry at Apple if it's not working out for them. Just very strange attitude.
