They were using 8.01 and tried to update to 8.02 instead of downgrading to 8.0 then updating to 8.02.
Not really sure what will improve, really. I, and many others, are VERY happy. Some minor bug-fixes here and there are certainly needed, but it's a waste of time to not enjoy it! You ARE missing out.
I was able to download the software no problem. When I went to install it however, I received an error message. I gave it a couple hours and when I went to install again, it put my phone into recovery mode again.
I was also hit with 8.0.1 bugs, so I'm shocked to have two updates fail me in a row. I know this won't be the vast majority's experience, but it's still unfortunate.

Maybe he walked past Uri Geller
Uri Geller is always a good answer for inexplicable events.
Sorry you have to deal with that, but your reasoned and thoughtful post is a nice change of pace from the angsty knee-jerk reactions that come from some people around here when something goes wrong with their device.
I got one better for you. My friend installed 8.0.1 yesterday and got the google play store. Today he installed 8.0.2 and now has the Google Android UI and the windows app store.
If you update the day an update comes out you have to expect something could go wrong. Its a risk that early adopters have to take. I'm just surprised it happened after apple pulled a buggy update. I would have expected it to be flawless. Seems to be for most people but a bummer nonetheless.
Well, your assumption is that the phone is so easily bendable that you may not notice it pressing against your body. You can make that assumption, but that doesn't make it true. Sure, maybe you lost sensation in your legs and you couldn't feel the 25 lb force on it. I would put that under "your problem", not apple problem.
Smoother. Doesn't lag like 8. Much better for me on iPad 4.
My 5s has been fine with both updates.
Correct, Teltra is aussie. Im with Vodafone AU, but im not updating my 5s just yet!
Just trying to be fair. anonymous can say anything and then disappear, Apple's QA will have to deliver a solution at the end of the day.
Oh, I am anonymous, 8.0.2 works, go get it.
1 counted.
I'm updating now; my trust in Apple has not been shaken over the 8.0.1 bump.
And you shouldn't be over-sensitive either.
Let's move on.

Try reverting to iOS 8.0 then up to 8.0.2 (I assume you went from 8.0.1 to 8.0.2?)
There are situations where it's feasible that someone wouldn't be thinking about their phone, even if it did press against their leg. Like you said though, Apple really can't take the blame for that. They did their due diligence in making a sturdy device, we have to do our due diligence in taking care of it.
Yeah, it's hard to imagine two updates going wrong back to back. Even if everyone else had no problem, it doesn't make it any less of a pain for you.
I went 8.0 to 8.2 and it bricked my phone, forcing me into recovery mode through iTunes.
