O2 withdrew the pre-order after their site crashed due to unexpected hits for booking, now they will process only in store purchase, atleast for the time being

On the contrary if the govt survives the no confidence motion, things might move very fast. Good part from the disclaimers on Airtel and Vodafone site one can make out they will go ahead with the launch without a wait for 3G
Battery life is supposed to be 10hr Talk time in 2G and 5hr in 3G mode according to apple site. To add if one uses wifi and browsing for long, battery time will be substantially reduced in any hardware. My HTC runs for 3-4 days if i use phone only, moment i switch ON wifi and browse it comes down to 1-1.5 days.
