The Toshiba TG01, which just launched on Orange, has passed through the FCC. The version listed in the docs is a production unit, which potentially indicates a sooner than later launch of the Snapdragon powered phone here in the US. The phone is listed with support for CDMA networks, which means that it should pop up on Verizon or Sprint.

It looks like Toshiba is set to officially launch their TG01 handset on July 9th at a London event. News of the TG01 surfaced in the beginning of February and with it came news that it was to include one of the faster cell phone chips on the market, the 1GHz Snapdragon. Other amenities include a 4.1-inch touchscreen, GPS, 3G connectivity, an accelerometer and more stuffed inside a super slim 9.9mm thick body.
