The iPhone 5 will certainly work fine using existing 3G networks. However, the article you referenced in your link indicates that the spectra allocated for LTE differ among the Western European nations differ from one another and don't coincide with those allocated in the US. As I indicated in my earlier post, from a user's pocketbook perspective, that's probably a GOOD thing :-)

I have a URL from an AppleInsider page which was itself taken from an Apple page that summarized the present state:
<http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/09/12/apple_to_sell_3_variants_of_iphone_5_for_international_lte_coverage >
There are 3 iPhone 5 models.
Model #A1428 covers AT&T in the US, and Canada (Bell, Rogers, and Telus)
Model #A1429 is the CDMA model that covers Sprint and Verizon in the US, and KDDI in Japan.
The 3rd model is GSM again and covers some or all of Germany, UK, Australia, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
They also state:
> There are several other global LTE carriers Apple could support, either with its existing models or new models, that the company hasn't announced any deals with yet.

> In Japan NTT DOCOMO uses Band 1, and a long list of other European carriers are deploying Band 3 LTE. T-Mobile, Cricket and MetroPCS use Band 4 (AWS) in the U.S., so these carriers could all apparently be supported by Apple's existing models, given a carrier agreement.

> Other carriers have deployed LTE Bands that none of Apple's existing iPhone 5 versions support. A variety of carriers in Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland are all deploying Band 7 (2600 MHz), while others in Germany and Sweden are using Band 20 (800MHz), and a variety of Middle Eastern carriers have started building out Band 38 (2600MHz).

Oops: a too-hasty response. According to O'Grady's PowerPage <www.powerpage.
