12hrs battery life, ?REALLY?

I find this 12hr battery life very, very ?questionable? And of course the article didn't bother to say if the 3G is tri-band, or Europe's stupid 2100 band.

Phone Functionality?

If it is targeted to Mobile Operators and it allows for video calling, I would hope it also allows for regular voice calling (and not just VOIP). That would truly make it an awesome device and the hot-swappable sims would be more useful then if one were to use a voice sim and a data sim. I don't see any other benefit to hot-swappable sims especially since mobile operators wouldn't want you swapping in a competitors sim. If it has regular GSM voice...it is the perfect netbook.
