.The Sims 2 is totally 3D.
.You can zoom in very close and turn the camera round at ease (not 3 zooming in and 4 rotations)
.Sims are more life like eg they have facial expressions and fingers.
.Sims hair will swing when they walk and they will act appropriatly around different people.

As you remember in The Sims 1, beds could only be used for sleeping and "playing". In The Sims 2, beds will have even more features. Sims can just lie down on the bed and think, or read a book, and perhaps even watch TV.

Can the sims buy music for their radios?
Well, you can download any MP3 and then make playlists for the stereo or different areas of the game. So in a way, you do that for them.
Where are the possible places of "playing"? Shower, I hope. There was a mention of that in a transcript somewhere. I think at least beds (All beds, even single ones?) hot tubs, and changing booths?
Yup, the clothing booths hold some special features

is there going to be some kind of neighborhood index that allows you to just click to the neighborhood you want to go to? So you don't have to scroll through each neighborhood and go through the agonizing waits.. :)
Yes, you can select from a catalog of neighborhoods, each with a picture and a blurb about them.

Do boys tend to look more like Dad, while girls tend to look more like mom? It seems that way in the screen shots.
It's more like there are dominant features and recessive features...the more extreme you make one of the parents the more you will see those features in the children
