I too came from Alltel & got the TP2 as soon as I could. I also got a GREAT deal to get 2 phones for me & the wife. To answer your questions:

1: We BOTH love this phone!
2: It gets warm but never has gotten hot on me at all.
3: Battery life is good...has always lasted all day for me at work(13+ hrs/day)
4: I don't know. The games I play all use the touch screen or g-sensor.

One thing I do give as a caveat is that I had a great family plan through Alltel that Verizon can't match. So now I'm paying more than I was before (and getting less for it.) I hope you can get a better plan than I did.
