They might introduce a cheaper, smaller device perhaps in the 5' screen range to compete with the Sony 300 and Astak Pocketpro at below the $200 mark.
We might also see a refresh in the DX in the near future to switch it to the GSM chipset, to align all its devices as world devices.

There is one reason they might keep the us-only versions alive and thats price, if the deal with sprint is better value for them than the at&t deal then they won't rush to dump the us-only version, not until they have managed to get a better deal from at&t anyway.
