can I and should I upgrade to iOS 5 beta?

I'm not enrolled as a developer so the check for updates in itunes doesn't show me any iOS updates for my iPhone 4 but a friend of mine told me its possible to upgrade the iOS to 5 with beta releases even if ur not a developer. I have an officially sold factory unlocked iPhone 4 here in India. I wanted to know if I should go ahead with the upgrade?


Since its beta and can have bugs, will I be allowed to downgrade?


Please give me your suggestion.

Only registered developers can use the iOS 5 beta. Anyone else using it has obtained them from unofficial (and possibly illegal) sources.


If you're not a developer who needs to test his Apps on the new OS, why would you want to risk running beta, and possibly buggy, software?


Wait until the final, ready-to-use, release.
