Myself and many others did a hard reset (home button and power button) and then started it back on again with a prompt to complete upgrade. Only stopped on my iPad but seems to work pretty well.
Got a tip for us?

Actually the iPhone just needs an Internet connection. The routing is done through iCloud.
I know it seems strange but a long carrier name causes some kind of memory leak which makes iphone slow. I have already restored it but the problem exists

bad battery life
i have had bad battery life with all the betas hopefully this improves it. my battery drains super quick when i use the beats music app or gps seems to also. and with those apps my phone gets hotter than normal. anyone else notice this or have that problem? i went from 100% to 90% in like 10 minutes or less using the beats music app for instance. its like 4x faster than it was before doing ios8

Not happy at all with the continued trend of "Yes"/"No" buttons in iOS and OS X. Goes against Apple's legendary user interface guidelines, which recommend using action-oriented buttons, such as "Cancel" or "Allow".
I really wish Apple would allow the user to disable most of the crap on the status bar. I'd rather just have a battery percentage by itself than an icon and the percentage. Hell I don't even need to see the carrier personally. Along with all the other icons Apple forces onto the end user.
Reason why jailbreaking to me was worth it.

I agree with this. That top bar is just getting far too cluttered since they added that weird dotted signal strength indicator.
Depends -- if you only use your camera roll, maybe. If you use albums and sync your photos to a PC/Mac, they the optimized versions are already on your phone. Sync'd albums place the original sized copy on the PC/Mac -- learned this the hard way when I lost my hard drive and the only copy I had of my photos were all the sync'd albums on my iPhone.
Looks like with iOS 8, we'll now have the option to keep the originals on the device regardless of syncing.
Maybe optional setting for carrier. I do want to know which network i'm on when i'm traveling to another country.
Wifi calling is worth the update alone, apple is really breaking down the barriers now. It's like they are on a mission right now to kill every annoying thing about having multiple devices in one os jump. This is shaping up to be the most epic os ever. Android is looking so far behind right now.

Meh nothing new.

A lot of the questions people ask can be answered by watching the WWDC 2014 keynote. I watch it every year to see what new features are coming to iOS and OS X
Does anyone know if Apple decided to make notification center and control center gesture not interfere with everything else on the screen yet? I know someone said control center doesn't cause keyboard clicks now, but this problem goes so far and beyond that, it's ridiculous. There are so many aspects that this causes problems for, and most annoyingly of which, is the quick return to the top of a page when swiping down notification center, because it thinks you tapped the top of the menu bar which returns you to the top...
It can be deceiving trying to rationalize some issue not existing without some information about it: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1754897/
Failure to pay attention to whats currently staring you in the face 100% of the time is the root of pretty much every I got a bill for $X000! story.
Now, imagine everybody travelling *without* a constant reminder that they both are connected and to whom at $X per min/MB (even if not actively using, there are push notifications, push email, location services, etc).
Heck, historically roaming can even be triggered well within normal coverage area due to failure or capacity issues - uncommon these days, sure, though might still be an issue somewhere.
Handoff not working!
Handoff worked just fine on Beta 4 but now with Beta 5 I can't get Handoff to work; not even by signing in and out of iCloud on both my iPhone and my Mac.

Left iPhone for a GS5
Can anyone tell me if the new keyboard in ios 8 can now learn words like on Android? Like a slang word or whatever? I really do love that about Android. Also can you select a dark theme???

They don't need it. They have low-bandwidth spectrum. T-Mobile does not. That is why they have wifi calling so people can get service inside buildings.
