Okay, so Verizon turn on their 4G LTE last night in our market (Albuquerque)... I have an iPhone 4S, with it's super duper antenna design, multiple frequency Siri goodness...
My friend has a 4G LTE Android Phone (I think it's the Bionic or something)...
We both ran Speedtest.net application on our phones with the same destination servers, as well as preferred servers.
I can say that what Apple said about speed is true... the dual GSM antennas on the iPhone 4S do indeed deliver "LTE speeds"...
My iPhone 4S was slightly FASTER than the 4G LTE phone my friend has...
HSPA+ does have theoretical speeds that are 4G in nature... whatever Apple and ATT did to tweak that works...
And as always, ATT is the only carrier to support voice and data at the same time ON AN IPHONE in the US... even the 4S on Verizon or Sprint will NOT do voice and data at the same time.
If you happen to be up in the air on the 4S and can change carriers, or are selecting one for the first time, I can say first hand that I am getting Verizon equivalent 4G speeds on my 4S in Albuquerque, NM... in fact, tethered my iPhone 4S is faster than my home DSL.
Mike
