4. If you are asking if it's "Gorilla Glass" then no. I don't believe HTC has adopted that yet. Do you regularly run sharp metal objects across your screen when you use it?

Pretty much on point..
1. Certainly does...It's behind the Mic grill and is much more noticeable than the TP2's indicator
2. Nope, doesn't really need it. Been sucking down 4g and had the screen on constantly all morning long, tons of network traffic and switching onto & off of wireless...barely putting a dent in the battery usage. I'm impressed.
1500ma/h battery (might have the designation wrong there) is definitely running the 800mhz processor smoothly (will see how it does when overclocked like a g2...with the second gen hummingbird processor, it should do just fine even when OC'd)
3. Slightest play of any slider Ive hard... and I had the 6700, 6800, TP1, TP2, and Epic for a few days. Honestly, it's as close to 'no play' as you can get. Although it doesnt have the Z-hinge of the G2, this slide does the job and is a surprise to anyone I show the phone to (the fact it is a slider isn't all that evident to the non-phone geek).
5. HTC isn't on board w/ GG , yet. Rumored for the next ver of the big boy Evo...but honestly...this thing is rock solid feeling. A far cry from the feel of a Epic when slightly squeezed. The screen seems durable..... but I did opt to put a Zagg protector on because I have no intention of putting a case on this thing. I really don't have any qualms with taking it off after a few months as the screen seemed fine with it off. Just first few week jitters/wanting to maintain, ya know?

additional question...
Speakerphone on this thing is B.A. Clarity and pickup of the Mic (for regular calls and on speakerphone) kills the TP2 from my initial tests.
I did not try the setting down to switch to speakerphone thing, but it does have the proper hardware to be able to do it with the proximity/light sensor being very on point in terms of bringing away from your head, etc.
I give the speakerphone a few more goes and try out the nifty option we had on the TP2 stock (im sure if its not built in oem, there a widget or background app that can make it happen)
This thing has no trouble juggling a multitude of running app's...ive had very little need to go 'task' manage anything.
