If you're willing to pay through the nose for the phone, you can go
month-to-month on Verizon and cancel your account when you wish to.

Bear in mind that there are only two major GSM carriers in the US:
T-Mobile (with a rich Android lineup), and AT&T (to date sitting Android
out IIRC). And, IIRC, the Milestone just got FCC approval within the
past week or two.

There may well be a short-term exclusivity deal -- I'd almost be
surprised if there weren't -- but the fact that the Milestone isn't in
the US isn't proof.

3G, perhaps not. Everything else, I would imagine so. I have an HTC
Tattoo that was originally destined for Malaysia/Vietnam that works, at
least voice, with a prepaid T-Mo SIM.
