My state was included in the upgrade to "real" 4G, haven't noticed anything to write home about being much different speed wise, etc.
Anyone notice a difference?

You will not see the faster LTE speeds as you don't have a LTE capable device.
That's incorrect, the Atrix 4G like the HTC Inspire are 4G capable with LTE chipsets as confirmed by AT&T but more importantly Motorolla.

Key word seems to be "capable" here.
Not confused, understand what LTE and 4G means, currently working towards obtaining accurate information from reliable sources.
Also as I stated before "capable" being the keyword here, never said it was fully LTE speed/download capable.
I should have stated 4G capable
Back on topic, has anyone noticed any speed improvements or differences with their 4G "capable" Atrix phones?

I'll kindly ask you to stay on topic now.
Incorrect, the 9/18 4G upgrade AT&T made has already provided positive speed results in various areas, while not LTE 4G it's improved several Atrix, Inspire, etc, users.
Me:Can the Motorola Atrix connect at LTE speeds?
Agent: At the present time the Motorola Atrix is not compatible with our LTE network that is being deployed around the U.S.
Me:Ok. I know HSPA+ can (in the perfect world) reach 14.4 Mbs; on an LTE ready device in a perfect world, can you say what it might reach speeds of?
Agent: We have been told up to 20+ mbps, but to be honest what the actual real life speeds will be, it is unknown. This will be based on your service strength and availability. I would imagine once the majority of the new LTE network was in place, you will also see a nice bump in the speed of our HSPA+ service as well.
I am looking forward to an HSPA+ upgrade in my area so that I may see some higher speeds. Right now I'm averaging a solid 4.0 down and 1.3 up.
To help clear up some confusion, 4G is not LTE; I think we can all agree on that now and that the Atrix is a 4G not LTE device.
Also at this time there is no LTE phone available on AT&T
So the Atrix will be able to use HSPA+ which will be imporved by LTE improvments but it will NOT be able to connect at LTE speeds since the current chip does not support LTE (unless motorola has magically added in a chip that we are not aware of).
what you're referring to as confusion was already understood based on research.
Droid Bionic will supposedly be there first real LTE phone end of 2011 according to this article.
