The Pre-paid phone carriers are stepping up their games

[Cibernetico]

Just found out that Virgin mobile is offering the Evo 3D, which was one of the best phones a little than a year ago and now Cricket is taking preorders for the iPhone. Meanwhile, Boost Mobile is going to be getting the iPhone4/S by the fall and will soon be taking pre orders for it aswell.

I'd figure they would eventually start offering more powerful phones on their services but I thought we were maybe 2-3 years away from seeing the iPhone on a prepaid carrier. I'm sure it wont reach the speeds as the contract versions but still, big win for these companies.
