Looks like it's available. Anyone load it yet?

Got the OTA update (currently on beta 1) and downloading now.

I just sideloaded Beta 2, I didn't install Beta 1. Everything seems good, so far.

I so much want to load this but we're getting ready to move to Germany and while I expect Nougat to be stable enough for this, I'm just reluctant because I'll be ill equipped to deal with it when we arrive in Frankfurt and I pop in a Lebara or Telekom sim and things don't work right. That's one of the reasons I got my PH-1, so will probably wait a while before going Oreo. "
Unless... is anyone here using DT or an MVNO over there with the PH-1 / Oreo??

Same here and enjoying it so far. It's making me put down my iPhone X at least lol

I went from beta 1 to beta 2. Worked like charm, everything seems to be working just fine so far.

My battery life hasn't been great, at least on standby. It appears my Sprint OMA-DM is the culprit, at least Android reports it is about 1/3 of the battery usage. Any suggestions, or will I just need to wait for the final version, when Sprint updates the app (or drop back to Nougat)?

Does Oreo dull the haptic feedback? It's so violent.

It's slightly dialed back from previous builds and maybe slightly less than the latest 7.1.1 build. Personally I like the motor so it's hard for me to complain about it.

Something happened during the flashing process of beta. It happens from time to time. Especially when installing a beta software. Reflashing the beta again will most often fix the issues. Glad it is fixed!
