Upgrade Nokia Lumia 930 to Windows 10

I am thinking about upgrading my Nokia Lumia 930 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 using the Windows Insider app. There are terms and conditions, which include:

1) It is not intended as a substitute to your primary means of telecommunications
2) It may damage your device making it inoperable

Has anyone else upgraded there phone (not PC) to Windows 10?

I am a software developer and would like to upgrade.

    I upgraded my friends phone for him via the insider programme, about a month ago. He's had no real problems with the phone apart from a couple of apps being a bit buggy at times. The phone hasn't had any call or text problems and email seems to be working.
    The terms are there to protect them and you. Experimental stuff is not guaranteed and could brick the phone, although this seems rare. That is why they recommend that you don't upgrade your primary phone. So if you only have one, think about it.
    I know a few others that are running the insider programme on their phones and some of the builds made things difficult but were fixed in the next one.....
    I'm leaving my Lumia 830 alone, the release of the final build should be early in the new year, so not in a rush....
    Your choice....;)

    I've been running my Lumia 930 on Windows 10 preview builds for months without problems. The latest build 10586.36 is the same as ships with the Lumia 950.

    If you do install Windows 10 technical preview over 8.1, I'd strongly recommend a 'hard reset' afterwards to force a full re-install of the apps etc. which will improve performance and extend battery life.

    Does Windows Phone 10 have the File Explorer app? Have you ever been charged more than you expected for anything e.g. calls, texts, data etc? Do you use it as your primary phone or as a development phone.
