How big is GDR3 preview ? I mean the size of the download.

[unnatixlr8]

I am thinking of updating my phone to GDR3 preview. Just wanted to ask the download size of the OTA update.
Also updating my phone will erase my data or not. Though I would make a backup but just wanted to know as I won't be able to backup apps.

Please reply and thank you.:wink:

wow that's too small.. 34 - 50 mbs..
also will it erase my phone or not. Will it just update it like GDR3 did ?

What does losing warranty changes to phone.
what will be the effect of losing the warranty.

I guess you won't lose your warranty.. As preview and rtm is same
So you can simply install the gdr3 preview as i did.. No problems at all.
