Looking for a phone that will work in US and Oz ...

I don’t know about Australia specifically, but most of the world except US runs on GSM. I think the only US provider that does now is Cingular / AT&T.

Another phrase to look for is tri band or quad band. This refers to the frequency ranges the phone operates on. I think you’ll need at least a tri-band to work in America and another country.

T-Mobile is also GSM.

You need to get a GSM cell phone (Sprint is a no-go) + a prepaid SIM card for Australia.
