So I went by my local ATT Corporate Store today while the wife was at TJ Maxx. They had display units of the 8 and the 8+ so I just had to get hands on with them. Spent about an hour playing around with them and I must say I love the glass back...but I was not super impressed with anything else. The design is indeed boring and I really forgot how much I dislike bezels after having minimal bezels on my Note 8. I attribute the few stutters to iOS 11 and the apps not being fully optimized as I have never had stuttering issues on an iOS device. The colors looks absolutely awesome though and Apple has a very high build quality but I am more intruged with the way that Apple takes the iPhone X line and hope they make a Plus sized model of it in 2018! Though the 8 and 8+ are incredible upgrades for those on the 6S or earlier, I can definitely understand now why people with a 7/7+ are holding off! Anywho, just my 2 cents...not that it's worth much! Lol
 
I got some time with it as well Friday. It's definitely snappy but having a 7+ (as hard as the Genius tried to sell me on the advantages) I couldn't pull the trigger and I feel the same way about the X.

The glass does feel nice, but I'm too klutzy to not have it covered in a case and screen protector.
