If the A853 is sold both to Europe and to South America, and we know at least some of the phones in South America have to support 850/1900/2100 UTMS 3G so: Either they are shipping a different piece of hardware down there... OR they are simply using different radio baseband software. Now I'm of the opinion that Motorola isn't as short-sighted as HTC (as with the Goole Nexus One which doesn't have the PA's required to support 850/1900/2100 even though the radio does), but that they have indeed included support for both 850/1900/2100 and 900/2100 into the HW and are simply using different baseband HW. I wonder what would happen if took the baseband firmware from one of these phones from Argentina that supports 850/1900/2100 UTMS and flashed the European version of the Milestone that suppots 900/2100... What do you bet this would enable 850/1900/2100 on the European Milestone??? I guess here may be the $1000 question.

That's why all 3G mobile devices must have both of them. Actually, Brazillians Mobile Operators require de 850Mhz and 2.100 MHz frequencies. That's why all 3G mobile devices must have both of them.
