Confirming as an Australian on the Telstra network that the current release is working quite well on my Pixel 8 Pro. Only had a few little issues, like the pull down and app navigation gestures not working, and mobile data refusing to autoconnect. Been a good 6 hours since they've resolved though, and the phone is otherwise perfectly fine, including banking apps. Great job, guys.
EDIT: I don't use biometric security features, so cannot comment on face or fingerprint unlocking. PIN and password are working fine though, as you'd expect.
