The cons are huge. These are pre-release leaks and not final versions of the OS. Stability can be problematic. There are some discussions about 10.3:
BB10 Leaked/Beta OS - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
I've been on various versions of 10.3 since they started leaking. Yes, there are some issues, but I've been able to use all versions as daily drivers. The latest leaks are showing that it's closer and closer to being ready for release. I've had no stability issues and all of my apps (including Android ones) are running smoothly. If you're comfortable with loading a leak, I'm sure you'll find it worthwhile. The forums are full of resources.
...And yes, battery life is fantastic.
10.3 wont let your hands off the phone.
Hehehe

Download the OS here, this is the most stable version of 10.3 & is the FULL OS, it is leaked, but otherwise has everything an OS that is released is to have.

You have to read a fair bit. I have both Q10SQN100-3/10.2.2.1531 and the latest 1130 running on my black one.
I like how the 10.3 OS feels on the Q. It's darn quick!

You have to be careful when loading 10.3.0.1130. There are some minor issues that needs to be fixed by your own.
Yep, as zocster said, read every details.
You might as well read some comments from the users who already loaded it so you could make a good decision if you would go for it or not.
It's kinda risky but doable.
Hehehe
Q10SQN100-3/10.3.0.1052
Running since leak released and very solid, as stable as my signature OS version. Personally have not seen any bugs, it's a big change but a great one. Makes it feel like a new device again.
Unsure on improvements in the 1103 version but the 1052 auto loader are pretty straight forward to install. completed back up prior and restore after and all settings and app data remained so was happy days.
Give the phone a day to sort is **** out, battery will be crap while it re sync's after that it has been smooth sailing.

So your basic message is! The battery will be poor? Because I need at least 10 hours of battery

Mine can probably last 2 days on standby. 14 hours or more on moderate use.
If you have a bad reception that makes your radio switch bands a lot, I can't guarantee you a good battery life.

It's rare that I bother with leaks but I'm really enjoying 10.3.1052 I've only had one problem which was the native wikipedia app isn't working but the mobile website does so it's not a huge loss.

Everything fine.

Does Visual voice mail work for those using SQN100-2 (VZW) on VZW network in US?
While 10.3 is a leak it seems pretty stable. I've been running it for the last few weeks and really enjoyed it. Haven't noticed much difference in the recent minor version upgrades. UI is cleaner and entire OS is quicker/smoother on 10.3 than 10.2.
You need to be careful and read about how to install this stuff before hand but it isn't that risky. If something goes wrong you can do a base factory reset of ur phone with BlackBerry link and just load your full backup. (of course you would do a full phone backup before doing something like this).
I've seen threads on crackberry from people who found a way to use Verizon visual voicemail with 10.3. I haven't done it myself since I dont use that.

Nah, battery is as good as 10.2 but with the reload and re syncing after new OS load it could potentially be poor for the first day. So give it some time before judging.
