What is best for you will not be so for everyone. You are also conveniently overlooking that silly little potential issue of voiding warranties. Given the hassles I have had with VZW in Phoenix in the past, I would not want to give anyone excuses when it comes to warranty service. Just because you installed the developers preview (which is what it is) and you like it, does not mean it is right for, or of interest to, everyone.
I'm not shoving anything on anyone. I'm explaining that there is no advantage to waiting. The warranty issue that you bring up is nothing more than Microsoft covering their butts. Microsoft wrote that disclaimer. Microsoft is not a party to any warranty, so they cannot say that it will or will not void a warranty, so they are simply disclaiming any responsibility just in case, so that you can't sue them. This is just more evidence that there are too many lawyers in America.
GDR3 has been pushed out to Windows Phones in the wild already - by Verizon, even, and it is the same build that I have. So while you say it is a developer preview, all it really is is an opportunity to get what is coming, three months early, and counting.
