Verizon has been shipping their CDMA version of the iPhone for a little while now, and a few more differences and functions have shown up to take note of.
First, read my previous article for the broad stroke differences between Verizon and ATT's iPhone.
Apple has a support document that documents more differences. Here's the summary:
Call forwarding, Call waiting and Caller ID are managed differently. On ATT's iPhone, all these can be set within the Settings icon, whereas on Verizon's iPhone, you are required to use the same dial codes that old flip phones used - *72, *67, etc.
Conference calling is also different. Verizon allows you two simultaneous calls, ATT allows you five.
On ATT, you can place a call on hold on your iPhone, on Verizon, you can't.

Of course without a SIM card the Verizon iPhone loses some more functions, such as swapping out the SIM card when traveling overseas.
On ATT, replacing an iPhone simply required switching the SIM card and re-syncing with iTunes. There's no documentation about how to go about this for the Verizon iPhone. It may well require carrier intervention to set it up first, which may or may not be an easy and rapid process. Time will tell.
I'd love to hear from any new Verizon iPhone users on their experience and the comparative functionality.
Yes?
