I’ve preordered the Series 3 LTE but I’m probably not going to use the LTE functionality. My thought was that the lte model might have better hardware, and if I turned LTE off I would get better battery life than the non-LTE model.

Am I nuts?

It does not have better hardware but it does have double the memory, 16GB vs 8GB for the Series 3 GPS. So no better battery then the S3 GPS but it will save battery by having LTE disabled.

Yea I was waiting for an official teardown to confirm that the series 3 LTE and GPS have the exact same battery mAh size. I could see Apple sneaking in a slightly bigger battery for the LTE model.
