iPhone 5 from Verizon or AT&T will work with European and Australian GSM, but data will be 3G. LTE does not work in Europe. I am assuming Android phones with similar radios to the iPhone 5 will support the same networks abroad.

that's also because there is nearly no LTE coverage in Europe... besides, who needs that for daily use? 3G is just fine ;)

There is some LTE but on odd frequencies. There is lots of hdspa+ or 3.5g though.
