My experience with unlocking VZW phones:
Few CSR's know the VZW rules, as working on GSM phones is relatively new / rare for them. You should speak to somebody in their international department who has experience with GSM.
I was told they will only provide an unlock code every 6 months. It will also depend to a certain extent on your customer profile: payment history, time as a customer, etc.
It will not void your warranty. It is a native function of the phone to use whatever SIM is in there. It is the carrier that locks it down, not RIM.
