One major concern is the crapware that vzw adds to the phone.

What crapware? I heard it was going to be just like the AT&T iPhone, and Verizon apps would have to be downloaded via App Store. (No Verizon stuff will be preloaded).
 
Verizon hasn't been adding bloatware to Android phones, it's all available in the market, and they said already that the iPhone will ship like the ATT version and include nothing VERIZON on it (branded, or apps). It will be available in the market just like Android phones.
 
Call Verizon. Much, much, much more likely to do it rather than the stores in my (very experienced) experience.

Well I went into another store and the CSR gave me a lecture on why he wouldn't bump me up a few days. He said good luck in trying to get a phone. Kinda rude but oh well.

I called Verizon and they said there was no way they could bump me up from the 12th to the 10th. I was nice as hell to em also.

A CSR at one store told me to come in on the 10th and they would upgrade me then, but I have no way to confirm this and don't know if I should get to the store when it opens at 6 and try or just wait til the 12th.
