Chances are pretty slim that this will also support GSM.
Verizon only has that one phone from Samsung that they called "World Phone" which supported GSM and CDMA. It's not a big population that travels and uses their phone overseas, where they would need the phone to support both US standards and others, thus they usually decide not to put the extra cost of supporting both and majority of the people not use it.
But, as the price comes down, it is possible that we will see more and more "Converged" phone. I know that Qualcomm, who provides all the baseband goes into the CDMA phones, have MSM7xxx chipsets that support multimode.
