First question - do I need to unlock the phone to add the stealth tethering rom? Do I also need to unlock it to add the HTC wi-fi CAB or the WMWiFiRouter?[quote]
You do not need to unlock the phone to install these tweaks. They install like programs do. If you want to flash completely custom ROM, that is when you need to unlock.

Second question - I've seen great reviews for the TP2 on Verizon's site, Google, Amazon, etc... but each time I've gone into a Verizon store, they don't have a phone hooked up, just a dummy demo, and they talk about how it's been constantly returned. If the TP2 for Verizon just came out in September, why are they acting like the phone doesn't exist? Is it a competition issue with the Droid, since the keyboard on the TP2 seems to be superior to the Droids?

I'm not sure why Verizon doesn't have it hooked up... It may be true that there is a high return rate, but it is a great phone. If you have the patience to learn how to use it, you will enjoy it.

Third question - I do a lot of texting. How easy is it to get into the texting functions on the phone? (this goes back to Verizon not having a "live" phone to play with in the store) I played with the HTC Ozone but it seemed like it was like layer upon layer to get into the text messaging functions. (maybe just because I'm used to my dumbphone)

Getting into the texting function is as easy as sliding to the messaging tab and clicking on a text message to reply. If you want to make a new message, you go to the messaging tab and press Menu>New Message. You can also go into your contacts list and send a message from there. The keyboard takes a few days to adjust to, just like every new phone. If you were coming from a small phone, you will probably enjoy it.
