Hi Lori,
First of all, yes, any new iDevice will come with iOS 8 preinstalled as of next
Wednesday.
Will bugs disappear by January? Well, I sure hope so but of course nobody can
say for sure. I would say, however, that it is extremely likely that the major
bugs will be resolved by then.
Hello,
Sorry for posting this to the list, I can't find the address to send directly

Battery life on the iPhone 6 is noticeably improved due to the new iOS 8
processor which uses the 20 Nanometer technology and is much more power
efficient. I think we will see improvements in battery life over the next few
years rather than the other way around. Battery life on my 5S with iOS 7

Yes, but TalkATone requires a totally separate number and is a different
service all together. When they lost GV support back in May, I dropped the app
from my phone. It would be something even worth considering, but if you’ve
already have a GV number, it’s probably not worth the hasstle.
