Ok, I found an iphone 5 at another verizon location and ended up buying it. Apple is not selling the unlocked versions of the iphone 5 and based on the past it will be about a month before they hit the market. I paid $199 for the upgrade. I'm ok with keeping Verizon (even though I hate them) because they give the best national coverage which helps a lot if you travel in the U.S.
The real test will come when I try to use this thing overseas next month. Apparently it uses a new sim type and it might be hard to find.
