Based on this Msian LTE is 2600 Mhz but iphone 5 will only work on 1800 Mhz LTE spectrum
So does this mean we still get only 3G and the 4G is not useable - any experts care to clarify this ?

Dont expect too much from Msian LTE which is based on 2600 Mhz while the iphone 5 works only on 1800 Mhz. So what does this means - you won't get any 4G lah !! Stick to 3g and some guy has quoted 3.5 G maybe ??
Spore at least slight better as 2 telcos has both 1800 n 2600 Mhz spectrum but than limited to certain areas only

Summarised CNet review of spore situation

The iPhone 5 may not support Singapore's new 4G networks perfectly, while handsets from competitors Samsung and HTC will, based partly on a report from Digital Life, Singapore's weekly tech digest.

4G LTE sounds great but we have a big problem of fragmentation. There's no standard frequency band for LTE network--they differ from one country to another. Here's a list of the various networks around the world. You can also check CNET's LTE FAQ.

Reportedly, the iPhone 5 will support only the 1,800MHz band. Since SingTel and M1 are using both 1,800MHz and 2,600MHz bands to provide coverage in Singapore, the iPhone may not get the LTE signal in areas where the 2,600MHz band is being used. Competing handsets like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III LTE and HTC One XL will support both frequency bands.

Consider all this before buying an LTE phone. I'm looking forward to LTE for it signals a relief from the terrible congestion we have for 3G data today. So I'd be shattered if my handset didn't have full 4G coverage even after paying about a thousand bucks for it.
