With the Droid, I could download an app from the app store and install it.
And like I said, it will be just exactly what some ppl are looking for, it just wasnt for me.
And another big issue for me (and this does sound shady, I know) is with the TP2 I can tether to my laptop for free, with the Droid I was gonna have to buy a 30$ app just to get the ability to tether, THEN I was gonna have to pay VZW 30$ a month to add tethering to my plan.
Among other little things,
I prefer the TP2 hardware KB
I think the TP2 takes better pictures
I wasnt impressed with the Droids Google GPS (was always wrong) and I already had TomTom and Garmin for WM.
and last but certainly not least, the TP2 gets much better reception than my Droid did.
So thats why I switched back. But to each their own!

No offense yearn, but:
Tethering is free with Android via Wired Tether for Root Users, Wireless Tether for Root Users or PDANET for those who aren't root or just prefer to use a real app.
My Hero gets the same reception as my Diamond, and GPS is always perfect within 20m or so.
With root which I'm assuming you didn't have before, all of what you just mentioned is possible:
Flashing themes, new kernels, new ROMs, lockscreens, different OS versions.
I flash from 1.5 w/ sense to 1.6 w/ Nexus One to 2.0 with vanilla android ALL the time.
We just got source code this past week and it's opening a lot of new possibilities at least on the hero side.
