This phone is a local player, not global, since it's ties to VZ.
They will need to make different keyboard localizations for other countries, when and if they do go global... I large undertaking in software & hardware... so probably won't go global.
RIM has most to fear from this, as it competes directly with it on VZ's network.
Any left overs of WinMo will be killed off by Android & RIM offerings on VZ's network.
To sum up: This will create internal competition only on VZ's network between phone manufacturers. This will not create the intended exodus from At&t or Sprint to VZ.
