If this is really true, I will consider ebaying my droid, coughing up the $150 cancellation fee and saying goodbye to Verizon forever.

The U.S. badly needs an open (i.e. European-style) cell phone market. Google has (hopefully) realized this and is doing something about it.

I wonder if these will work in Europe. If so, I'll get someone to ship me one soonest... that's a decent price for an unlocked Android phone, which I've been wanting for a while.
The article on [1] rumours pricing, costing €20 per month for roaming on HSDPA. One just has to wait until it is released to find out I guess, but I too look forward to seeing the device being launched in Europe/UK.

I know one Google employee who has done exactly that already.
