Oh, god. That battery icon is lame, no matter what wallpaper you use with it!
IMO, of course.
I have it on my iPhone 4S and my partner's iPhone 5. For a beta, it's not that buggy, in fact I'm impressed with how stable it has been. Of course, there are some bugs, but again, it's beta.
Wow, you guys must be light users to not experience many bugs.
Forget the fact that my iMessage no longer works, my springboard crashes at least 3x a day, and various other tidbits such as overlay of the date bar on top...sheesh.
This will probably be the last time I'll try beta.

no light user here. i have the beta on my only phone, but i find if you install a beta on a phone set it up as a new phone, but that is me.
Edit: Mine might change, when i decide to start working on my app.

Can't say we are heavy users, but we've been using our ohones normally, like we always have been. Haven't experienced any of the problems you mention. Didn't set up as new, either, just updated over our iOS 6 installation,
Moderate to heavy use on my main iPhone 5 here
iMessage works (Has a few minor glitches with the location of the bottom bubble under the keypad occasionally)
A few third party apps dont work - thats expected.
Issues using Windows PC to synchronise the beta due to pages of apps in beta, but not in Windows iTunes. Not an issue, keep Apps in folders to 9 and no drama
Not updating some apps - it eventually does it OK on WiFi
Podcasts does not work. I'll have more to catch up on in a few weeks then lol
Find my iPhone does not work. Fix put up, I just have not installed it as I can use iPad if needed
Respring 3-4 times a day. Yep, but not critical and takes <10 secs. It's a Beta after all, so wont be perfect.
All issues noted have been acknowledged or closed as duplicates. I have put in about 12 issues so far, but none make the Phone unusable, just slightly buggy, and considering it's on my main daily use iPhone thats very acceptable for Beta 1 in my opinion.
Yeah, it just depends on what each person does. Something that someone doesn't do or doesn't need is "no big deal" where it may be a deal-breaker for someone else. Nothing I had was critical, but there were so many small things they reached critical mass. This is the first time I tried an iOS beta and like you probably the last. I'll slap it on my testing iPod when the beta is available for those.
Sorry, I was just being silly. I meant no offense. I assume you were actually talking about the battery icon.
Wise choice since clearly you ,and others, don't have a clue on the definition of Beta
I can certainly imagine betas being disasters. As in something where there is no way you would be able to fix everything wrong with it by the shipping deadline. Personally, I don't think iOS 7 is a disaster. I disagree with many of the UI changes that were made, but while those changes IMO make iOS harder to use, they don't make it unusable. And most of the problems I see with iOS 7 are fixable, but I'm afraid that Apple won't see them as problems.
It's really interesting how the user experience vary from one person to another!!! Even though bugy and having apps crashed, am enjoying iOS 7 beta lot more then iOS 6! Just can't imagine going back, seriously. And some people are calling it disaster!! We are leaving in a very strange world indeed!
Just what we need, a corporate themed iOS.
Or you could just buy a windows suface thingie if you're into the corporate look/feel/function. It's the perfect tool for corporate tools.
I agree on the "harder to use" part - while it seems such a simple thing, everyone (and I'm talking around 7 or 8 people) who I've handed my iOS 7 phone to have swiped up on the first screen and looked confused when the Control Centre appears... I still have problems swiping right to left on the same screen (I'm left handed) especially when it doesn't always seem to work the other way! (sometimes just does the bounce as if hitting the end) - reminds me of trying to put a USB cable in; try one way, doesn't work, try the other way, doesn't work, try first way again - it works!
This is a minor point of course but it does go to show that something so simple can still be a point of confusion when not executed clearly, something iOS always had over its Android competitors but they are starting down that route more and more with iOS 7* Just a little of the clarity getting lost because of a presumption that people should just know how it works...
*Still a Beta of course!
Just go back to ios 6 and stop whining its beta for god sakes. If ios 7 made little changes most of you would bitch like you did last year when they made minor changes. They overhaul the os and its a disaster. Give me a break.
Its wallpaper, it can be changed. Also not the default, mine was the stars one.
Is the auto updating set not to use mobile data? As mine was.
