I consider the iPhone's battery life to be pretty good, actually (although not "stellar"). Let me rephrase: considering the Pre's unified notification mechanism, I'd like to see how long the battery lasts given actual real-world email, IM, and multitasking. If it's poor (i.e., needs more than one recharge a day), then there isn't enough of a benefit to me. And, yes, I'm not too optimistic.

Incidentally, anybody use any of the femtocell products? Do they work as advertised? I'd likely need a femtocell station in my home to switch to either Sprint or Verizon (which for me is better than AT&T where I need a femtocell in my office--an impossibility).

FWIW (and, yes, I know you can't deploy it in your office), AT&T has been working on a femtocell for quite some time. Who knows, though, when they'll release it.
