This is just a guess, but it might have to do with EVDO (Sprint’s Broadband data service) Revision A or RevA. To receive RevA requires hardware and firmware that supports it. If Kindle1 doesn't have a RevA radio, it can't receive RevA.
That's not really a big deal though, RevA is a little faster than Rev0, but not significantly so, and the coverage is the same.
