I guess if you're wed to CDMA or EVDO, it's probably true that you won't be able to use a nice handset in the US market. But probably the G'zOne is the only phone that you won't be able to find something similar to if you're willing to buy an open-line GSM or UMTS/GSM phone.
A pretty wide array of SE, Sharp, Toshiba, and NEC phones can be bought and used on the T-Mobile and Cingular networks. There are also some nice phones put out by Nokia, Samsung, LG and the like. Shop around a bit, and you'll find something you like.
In the end, it may cost you $300 or $400 for a really sharp cellie, but that's a lot cheaper than moving to Japan...
