iOS 9 PB 2 as daily driver?

I got rid of it. Had it on my primary phone for a little while but got tired of random crashes, restarts, etc. Once stable, it will be good OS though.
Is anyone suspicious of a launch for Public Beta 3 today maybe or this week? I'd hate to go back to iOS 8.4 now and endure the possible data loss and then see PB 3 come out. I can deal with it being partially glitchy like iOS 9 PB 1 was fine. Glitchy here and there but PB 2 is downright awful every time I pick up my phone. PB 2 even drops calls! It will say "iPhone unable to make calls" and just disconnect my call. That's not a standard dropped call message and I have AT&T and where I live I get perfect coverage so that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Beta 5 will be out either tomorrow or next Tuesday, so PB3 will be out either Wednesday or next Wednesday. If beta 5 doesn't come out tomorrow, then PB 3 won't be out this Wednesday.
I can see that. That's unfortunate. It's quite good in America. The map's search function was rather lacking but iOS 9 greatly improves it. I love Apple Maps
It's strange how different the same iOS can be on what should be the same hardware, I haven't had a single crash, restart or call problem on PB2, even my WifiCalling works perfectly.
Yeah, that is weird. Maybe it's a combination of apps. Or maybe it's that I did an upgrade versus clean install.
I've had it crash when I pulled down text notifications to respond and occasionally when someone called me it would restart my phone. It was like a fake restart though. Basically I got the Apple screen but I came up much quicker than a full restart.
Lots of apps also crashed such as Skype and some random games and stuff.
It's weird how most of these problems go away universally by the time the full version ships. That's what I'll be waiting for.
I had to take it off my 6+ at weekend as it suddenly just stuck on the apple logo and refused to load, up until then it seemed stable for a beta had no major problems and was using as my main phone but will wait till the main release now
It's been very stable on my 6+ up until the last couple days. Suddenly apps are freezing/crashing frequently, I'm losing the status bar, and I'm having issues with Touch ID.
