Verizon Touch Pro screen delamination

[bluruld]

As many have mentioned in these forums when your screen starts to show this permanent rainbow like oil in water on your screen, the screen is delaming.

I can see this effect when the screen is off and I look at it. When the screen is backlit I can kind of see it.

I don't have the $5/mo Verizon insurance.

The questions:
1.) Anyone had success exchanging their phone with this issue to Verizon? I only saw people mentioning success with Sprint.
2.) Obviously I would like an upgrade to Touch 2. How long should I wait till I try to exchange? Right when Verizon gets Touch 2 or wait a few months? Or will I end up with some Touch 1 refurb?
3.) Will the delam get worse?
