Apple has just released iOS 5 Beta 5 to developers for download. Alongside the new firmware comes Xcode 4.2 Developer Preview 5 and iTunes 10.5 beta 5. To update OTA, you must first erase all content and settings on your device. The delta update is 128MB.

The official dev site said to delete settings ONLY IF YOU UPDATE OTA. I suspect you can alt-restore no problem (which is what many did). RTFM.
