1) Yes. I had the TP1 and just got it by stealing someone's upgrade on our business account. I wasn't expecting much since I knew the internals were practically identical, but I was nicely suprised. MUCH more responsive, even stock firmware, I am liking the large screen more than I expected, and I knew I would like the keyboard better, and I was NOT disappointed.

2) Yeah, it gets warm with use just like the TP1...kinda toasty in some cases (GPS, 3d gaming, long calls most notably.) I would have to say it's about the same as the TP1, maybe a teensy bit better.

3) I'm a light talker, but it seems about the same as the TP1. I can go 2 days on it if needed. Many others find it dies partway through the second day, or end of the first for heavy users.

4) Yes...they register as a normal up, down, etc. I find it a bit awkward with them on the right though, but I have ripped up some NES games with it pretty good.
