Maybe it's one of the first phones that will support UMA (which sounds like GSM via unlicensed spectrum, like WiFi).

By deploying UMA technology, service providers can enable subscribers to roam and handover between cellular networks and public and private unlicensed wireless networks using dual-mode mobile handsets. With UMA, subscribers receive a consistent user experience for their mobile voice and data services as they transition between networks.

Although I don't see HTC listed as a participating company, Cingular and T-Mobile (specifically US -- yay!) are both listed.
