ios8 has not been released to the public yet or at least I see no signs of it being offered on mine,
Cheers.

I got it last week on my 4S.

I don't think your 4 qualifies Mike.

I am curious about the OP rolling back, mine is acting a little "choppy" but I don't think I'll bother with rolling back.

Seems like a common issue with IoS8?
iOS 8 Hit By WiFi And Battery Life Complaints - Forbes

From that article,

That said these aren’t the first problems we’ve seen with iOS 8. Notably iPhone 4S owners have complained about greatly reduced performance and on a scale which suggests Apple will need to release a software patch to address it in the near future.

Which refers to this article,

Mine is chopy, runs hotter, battery life has reduced, most apps don't work correctly. My at/t dude told me, "os8 not designed for the 4s. Lesser of a processor. It just can't handle the new software". I'm rolling back. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, it probably shouldn't have been released to 4S but now that it is, they should do something about the problems. We'll see what happens.

ok, so I restored phone to the os7! Very happy. Now, if I were to go to icloud, could I restore what was the ios8 junk to this os7, as I only want my contacts....or just leave well enough alone, as I'm only awaiting my new 6. I don't wanna screw this up. plz advise

I thought you were going to hand it down ?

Yes I am, but it could be 2-3 wks for 6 to arrive....backordered. It be handy to have my contacts restored, but Apple advised not to attempt to restore the icloud info on this fresh 7. I will wait. Thx DM
