I just chatted with Francisco at Negri; 1020 is unlocked AT&T and will definitely have the AT&T logo printed on it.
I think the only International version is the one that has the European bandwidths that won't work with US or Canadian based carriers, but will have 64GB internal.
The one Negri is selling on preorders is AT&T 32GB memory and USA compatible bandwidths..
"won't work with US or Canadian based carriers" is a little misleading..the European spec 1020's will work in the U.S. at 3G/4G speeds (up to 42Mbps) on the 850 and 1900 bands. Just not LTE. So if LTE is a must-have feature, then yes...the AT&T spec phone is the one to get. If HSDPA is good enough, then the european spec phone will work just fine.
One thing to remember is that the 64GB version being released for Telefonica/Movistar in Europe and Latin America is different from the "standard" European spec and will likely have a different frequency mix to serve those "exclusive" markets with a single SKU. Many of the areas served have LTE over AWS bands which match up to both t-mobile and AT&t here in the states. To me, that's worth holding out for...twice the storage plus working LTE over AWS. But everyone's needs/expectations will differ, obviously
