From experience, there is no need to flash the phone over to Metro. Most Verizon phones I have connect work without the need of flashing or unlocking. The only thing I can't tell you will work 100% is the 4G, in fact it's hit and miss.

I find that very interesting that Verizon sells phones that can go onto GSM networks. Is it LTE only, or do they also get HSPA+ and their CDMA 1x & 3G?Yep, most (maybe all?) recent phones from Verizon are GSM SIM unlocked

What you can get varies with each phone depending on the GSM radio it has. Some will have LTE, some HSPA, some both if it supports the right frequency,
Not sure about the CDMA radio, but Sprint doesn't allow Verizon phones anyway. The CDMA radio wont work with AT&T or T-Mobile.

After a certain point a few years ago, Verizon specified world phone capabilities as a supplier requirement for their more expensive models (I don't know the exact cutoff on that, sorry).
Those include full GSM and CDMA radios - prior to that, you had to wait for Sprint or Verizon to occasionally toss out a dual-capability model.

I think should be indicating GSM/GRPS/EDGE (2G), UMTS (3G) and LTE.
