both iPhone 5 and iPad air completed. did a clean install for both started around 1:00 and finished around 2:50 for both devices. 30 minutes for the iPhone and the rest was the iPad that took the longest to add everything.
Got a tip for us?

Just got finished updating my 5S. It took about 15 minutes from start to finish. Found no bugs or any other anomalies so far.
yup on the iPhone 5 install took about 50 mins total .. now still I got 3 4S phones / 1 iPad 2 to do but the rest I'm gonna do over the weekend ... Let server rush get down to manageable rate ..
I don't get how you guys are getting such speedy downloads. It's been no less than 12 hours download times since the release, for me. I've given up about 4 times so far this evening. Looks like I'm going to be waiting until tomorrow until the traffic is less.
I don't see the "switch" in Mac System preference pane to tick "on" in Public Beta 3...
Well I was probably one of the first on DL server for IOS 8 .. ( I was refreshing IOS software update every 15 sec. or so 'til it started the update process) .. I'm not on "super fast" ( Google Fiber etc either) mid rate Cable ISP ..

What a pain that as been 
How to clear 4.5gb of space.
Then once downloaded it said I need 4.5gb of space. Rebooted then try again.
Once install had ran it then showed it had to be connected to iTunes and go into recovery.
Then started to update from the iCloud, it then shows 2 hours. After 20 mins then shows 3 hours, then 1 minute.
Been 3 hours and a total pain

All the OS / IOS update days are slowest server times / time-outs each year .. if you can wait couple days then re-try the update process...
Even
with these Server "farms" will get slow as molasses on January day with the rush OS / IOS fans hurrying to get the new OS / IOS..

Where's the Mac side for "handoff" located @ .... Checked General Preference - not there..
If I type into search of System Preference - "Handoff" = puts me into General ..
So far all seems well.
Installed IOS 8.0 through iTunes Mac on OS 10.6.8 onto iPhone 5 w/ 16 GB.
Set up iCloud for the first time (never bothered setting it up before).
All seems fine. Smooth. Programs are working fine, seems like what it's always been. Oh, and I skipped on 7.1.2... I was still on 7.1.1 when I did the update through iTunes.
No complaints here. Glad I skipped the 7.1.2 brick your phone thing. This update went perfect.
Took only 5 minutes to update phone and be back to using it after the software was downloaded. I let computer download the update first, and came back later and plugged in the phone to update.
Oh, and I only lost 0.2 GB of space compared to 7.1.1. So, not too much bigger. But, hard saying because that also includes all my other installed apps being updated. So, a lot of the size could be the combination of other apps increasing slightly as well.
