Actually you can have multiple email accounts, even on 1.5. You can only have one 'push' accound, but you can use POP/IMAP with the Email app to add others. Want to talk on Skype? Yes, the official skype app sucks, so just use the Fring app (free in the market). What's your problem with the Bloomberg app?
You can have as many PUSH accounts as you want - try K-9 Mail. I use it for my Gmail (as IMAP), Hotmail and IMAP accounts. If your IMAP server supports it (and Gmail does) then K-9 Mail has an option to enable IMAP PUSH. I get my IMAP email on my phone before I get it on the desktop.
I will second the K-9 Mail recommendation. It is a great program.
I can't speak for skype since I have an unlimited plan. International calls, I use a prepaid phone card that recharges automatically. At $0.02 a minute internationally, I can't beat that for anything.

Boom shakalaka.
Epic comment, will remember this for future iPhone versus Android arguements
The Hero is great for me. I am really happy with it. I can set it up just how I like. I like to tinker and mess about. It's also much more stablethan my WinMo handsets ever were.
My daughter on the other hand, she's 22 and not at all techie. For what she wants out of a phone the iPhone might indeed be better - for her. She has Blackberry right now and does not use it to anything like its full potential.
