News reports coming in.....
All those with bent iPhones threw them at the wall when the update screwed their iPhone. The resulting impact straightened all iPhones. Apple immediately pulled the update before anyone with an unbent iPhone did the same. Apple fixed
Well I got the restore done but the sync downloading my stuff is still going after all night. Started around 6pm last night and it's almost 6am this morning. It's still spinning and does not appear to be moving data.
Oh well, what a pain in the a**!!

Still wondering the reason people are restoringrather than updating (rolling) back to iOS 8.0... Takes 5 minutes... keeps all settings/texts/email drafts/etc., intact
At the moment the Apple servers are hammered - download speeds are pathetic.
The end is nigh I tell ya!
Seriously Apple are behaving a lot like Microsoft recently. They need to sack a few people.

We have a workaround for you if you have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and you lost cellular service and Touch ID functionality today after updating to iOS 8.0.1.

iOS 8.0.1 Causing No Service, Touch ID Issues on iPhone 6/6 Plus, Apple Suppo...
This is why I have not updated my 4s and why I will never be the 1st to own the next "new" whatever...
I will be wanting an upgrade in a phone but I want something solid not bendable in a pocket!? and bigger than 4"
Apple used to "just work out the gate" their comp. their phones ect. that's why I switched from Microsoft

The perils of having a large user base. When Apple was 1% of the market it was much easier to contain. At least iOS is sandboxed to a degree and they keep their versioning under control.
Microsoft made life tough for themselves by initially leaving DOS/Windows so open to developers/patches/service updates etc. And having such a large and diverse user base.
I downloaded that same file in under 5 minutes. Look earlier in this thread for links.....

So basically what I and numerous others posted yesterday.
It's not the file, that downloaded quickly. It's the sync after the restore that's taking so long now. Guess there are just so many syncing now that it's crawling..
For those who need to get the ispw file, I am hosting all the iPhone models for iOS 8 at https://copy.com/1GOtP6Vz0DRL To just get you're link for either Apple's Server or from my File hosting, The full file name below is for Apple's servers and my hosting is under 'Alternate Link'
For those who need to delete the update from your device: Go to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage from there click the update and you can delete it in the window that pops up.
For Those who need to roll-back to iOS 8.0, you can follow the instructions below, Option 1 is Apple's method to do it, Option 2 is doing a Restore and Option 3 is a total wipe of the device. Here’s an important note (which Windows users should pay particular attention to; also, this is something that only applies if the user chooses to look for the desired IPSW file on the Internet). Your browser may change the IPSW file into a .zip file. For example, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer does this, if used to download the firmware bundle. This doesn’t mean it’s unusable. Instead of wasting time switching web browsers, just rename the file to end in “.ipsw” and iTunes will accept it.
Option 1: (Apple's way):
Follow these steps to reinstall iOS 8.0.
1. Make sure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
2. Connect your iPhone to iTunes.
3. Back up your iPhone in iTunes on your Mac or PC. iCloud backups won't restore to earlier versions, including iOS 8.0.

4. Be patient and wait for the installation process to be completed by iTunes
5. Once the restore is completed you can select your backup or treat the device as a new device.
For Restore and if the Device times out:

Google is your friend, here is just two links that show how blown out of proportion this is:
http://www.redmondpie.com/the-samsung-galaxy-s4-bend-test-on-video-spoiler-it-bends-and-cracks/
http://www.cultofmac.com/297404/get-bent-shocking-history-bent-smartphones/
Shocking, media hypes something up to be far greater than it should be. Suggestion to all plus owners, don't put a 5.5 inch phone in your pants and sit down, might hurt the phone, will definitely hurt you (too big for that).
Back pocket, front pocket, force will be applied to the phone either way. Tighter jeans, big piece of metal and glass, seems...kinda obvious. The bigger the piece of metal the more force will be applied. I traded pocketability for screen size, I knew that going in, kinda thought others would have come to the same conclusion.
I would like to note if anyone has an iPad or iPod Touch with iOS 8.0.1 please send me a DM and I will send the corresponding links.
So in one post you're ignoring others' opinions on another company (lets call them company B), and in the second post you're saying that you're not going to switch unless your experience with company B becomes better than A. That's the same company B that you just said you were never going to try?
Well, if I limit myself to only company A, and ignore every other company, of course company A is going to be the best - it's the only one I'll even acknowledge!
