That is the exact reason why frequencies are setup like that. SO U can't just buy from other country and run it here. No carrier will even think about that. They will lose phone sales and they will lose contract sales which is their bread and butter. It's nice to think that way but it aight happening.
The great American CDMA technology will eventually die thou. But it's not gonna be replaced by GSM. It will just be transformed as CDMA2000 or LTE if i'm not mistaken.

I have the same idea as you. Screen size for me comes first. I don't care where TG01 lands (Sprint or Verizon). I will make it work with sprint. isn't that what we're here for? To modify our devices and call it our own. Anyways, TG01's Update will have a physical KB thou. It will be called TG02 for obvious reasons. I think TG01 is the only phone worthy of a physical KB bcoz of its depth. Very slim. So TG01 with KB will prolly be slimmer than TP2. Now I don't care about people saying it's too big and it's gonna fit on their pocket. That's their problem if it didn't fit.. I don't put my phone in pocket anyways. LOL. My pocket is already crowded with my keys, lighter, Cigs, receipts and coins. I don't want my phone being scratched by those.
Not only that, They think TG01 has a gigantic screen? Wait till they hear the rumored HTC Leo, which will sport a 4.3" screen with specs even better than the TG01. I'm also looking forward to that. I carry my 7" UMPC almost everyday. So with the HTC Leo in my possesion, Bye bye UMPC. Not only for me but in general for sure.
