  I already found this out the hard way. I sntalled and discovered that the phone could no longer find a tower, endlessly "searching" for service in a well-covered area. I had to completely restore the phone from a backup to get my basic calling service back.

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

  Wife and I updated both our iPads and iPhones with no issues at all.

  This says mainly the new Iphone 6 is affected but it's been pulled of the apple server

  I'm thinking I'm gonna restore mine back to a previous backup and wait for them to sort out the bugs. I should have waited and ususally do, but a buddy updated his 5 and it seemed OK. My 5S has been giving me some trouble since I updated it. Mainly some minor freezing issues, loading emails and some other things VERY slowly, trouble getting service at times, which is also a Sprint problem. Sprint data service, especially around here, SUCKS! I regularly see .1 mbps upload and dowload speeds at random times on any given day. But I'll end that rant.
  
  I haven't had any major problems with IOS 8, but a few little glitches that are annoying. Rather than take a chance of it doing something to my phone that I don't want, I'll probably go to a backup and let them fix it for a while.

  Wife corrected me - we installed 8.0, not 8.0.1.

  I finally got fed up with Safari's little "features" and installed Chrome on my iPad.

  I always wait about a month after the update is released so they can work out the bugs.
