GSM1x is cheap (for GSM upgrade), not solely because it uses GSM-MAP, but also because it uses slivers of spectrum at lower frequencies (than W-CDMA at 2.1GHz) which allows a lower cost of buildout. If Slacker's data is right, he says that if the GSM1x is at 800 Mhz then it would be 225% more expensive to build out at 1900Mhz and another 20% more at 2.1 GHz. The total cost difference would then be 270% more expensive for WCDMA at 2.1 GHz vs GSM1x at 800 MHz.
