Your only option from the US is a handset rom AT&T. AT&T locks their devices and they are heavily customised. I recommend you buy your handset locally.

Actually you might get the Google Nexus One Android phone directly from Google - there's an AT&T version that doesn't seem to be locked.

Check our Android forum for a long discussion on how to import a Google phone.
