Can any Verizon customers confirm if you can finally talk, text or use data at the sametime once LTE was activated on the network?

As long as you're on LTE, yes- you can do it all at once.
Thank you. I'm seriously considering going to Verizon this year but using data and talking at the sametime was important.
Do you live in an area that has strong and widespread LTE coverage? If not, this feature will mean nothing. I hope you can get what you're looking for.
I sincerely wonder why more phones don't use SVDO. The infrastructure is there, the components are available, so why haven't the phone manufacturers worked to improve our mobile experience?
There are four phones that can do simultaneous voice and data over 3G (aka EV/DO) for Verizon.
HTC Thunderbolt
HTC Rezound
HTC Incredible 4G
Samsung Galaxy S3.
I've tested this on all four of them. It works.
All LTE devices Verizon has launched can do voice and data at the same time while on LTE. Only those four can do it, so far at least, while on EV/DO.

4G will even make Verizon feel like a GSM network, SIM cards and all. Even international roam without doing anything at all other than setting foot in that country .
No more *228 either, just put the SIM in, and the phone works, both the CDMA side and the LTE side. I heard doing a *228 on a 4G LTE phone may actually fry the SIM card, but don't quote me on that one, I am not going to try it.

When the Thunderbolt was released it used to because their system tried to reprogram a card which couldn't be reprogramed. However I'm sure that's been solved.
I think now it will just tell you something along the lines of, "It is not needed to program your phone, thank you for calling Verizon Wireless"
Indeed. Verizon's LTE launch was questionable aha. I bought the Thunderbolt the day it came out. Pretty sick phone, and I miss LTE dearly. Really looking forward to 6th-generation iPhone!
I don't know what you are talking about. Have you looked at the coverage map/do you live in Raleigh? I live you in Cary close to Apex and I have super strong 4G. All of inside of the beltline is covered with 4G and outside of the beltline as well. It extends all the way out past 540 on the east side and goes past 55 on the West. They have great 4G coverage in the Triangle area.
Also of course they are going to hit the cities first...there are more people there.
Edit: Looking at the map though you are right 4G ends right before Benson, it looks like you will be getting it soon. They haven't made it all the way down 40 to 95 yet. They do have really good coverage in the triangle though.
