Is the Verizon iPhone much slower than AtNT version ??

I've seen through the speed test app that AtNT version is quicker but in real life situations they are both equally.... Anyone can tell me?

Yes.

Definitely a noticeable difference in many locations. When I'm in my home town with my AT&T I only get 2-3Mbps, which is what Verizon will get AT BEST - and it's quite a bit more sluggish on web browsing than when I go into the city where I get 5-6Mbps. Not unusable, but noticeable.

Anxiously awaiting my backordered 4S so I can see what HSPA+ will do for me in the city

It really depends on your signal strength and what you are doing. On average, AT&T's download speed is twice that of Verizon's, but I've seen cases where it's 10-15 times faster.

If you load a simple web page or app, then you might not notice a different, but if you download a song or app that takes 5 minutes on Verizon but only 1-2 minutes on AT&T, I would say that's substantial.
