Well, looks like it's on the site now. I tried calling TeleSales and doing an outright no-contract buy on the phone ($489)... but because I am in Canada, they said they can only sell to Verizon customers.

They also suggested finding out if any of my US friends have Verizon, I know a few people... but don't want to trouble them.

If I am doing an outright buy, I can't see how this would make any difference?
