Hey guys, i usually don't run beta releases on my main devices, but I thought what the heck, I might as well.
So far it's been a smooth experience, no lag or glitches.
Anyone in the same boat as me ?

You have a dev account? I want to run it but I don't know if it might brick my phone?

Yup. I'm rocking the new iOS on my iPhone 5S. I'm loving it so far. I love the predictive text on it and the quick reply. As well as the time lapse feature on the camera.

I was considering it but decides against it, I think it would ruin the experience if the software is glitchy etc

I tried it but way to buggy. A lot of apps and games crashed. I just went back to 7.1.1 for now until a more stable release comes out.

I was going to but most of the features I want to try out to see how they are would require apps to be updated to support those features so I'll be waiting for the GM. But I did get the default iOS 8 wallpaper so I can get use to it.

I'm having a little trouble with Yosemite but none at all with iOS 8 on phone or iPad.

I've had my first crash today when I was Launching settings. But it's expected. Other than that I'm happy.

What problems are you experiencing?

Two programs I use for work will not open (both non native) and the mail app isn't functioning. I've yet to find a solution for these issues. Everything else is great though.

I haven't had too much of an issue. I am excited when third party keyboards like Swype and Swiftkey make it to the iPhone. The new predictive text is pretty need but it does take some getting used to. I have had several random crashes and reboots but that is to be completely expected.

I installed it right after the keynote and I must say Apple did a good job with this OS. I don't experience any major issues yet
