I’d like to think that if something happens in the prepaid wireless world, we’re pretty quick to it on Prepaid Reviews. After all, that’s the sole point of our existence: to keep you informed on what’s going on with your service. Thing is, many companies like to plan their announcements with regard to what other, bigger companies are doing. And what’s going on today? Even if you’re not a cell junkie, and hell, even if you don’t own a cell phone at all, you certainly know that the iPhone 3G debuts…well, debuted not so long ago. Yes, competitors like BlackBerry aren’t staying as quiet. But for the most part, silence is the word in the industry today.

Think about it, though. Say you’re an exec with MetroPCS. You’ve got a new handset to announce, or you’ve got a new feature, like MetroFlash. Do you want to go announcing that on the day that the iPhone launches? Do you want to launch it in the week leading up to said launch, or even in the week after? Probably not. No need to let your news get lost amid the geek frenzy.

If something happens this morning, you’ll see it later. Otherwise, we’ll probably just gripe about how you can’t get this new iPhone on a prepaid plan. Even if you fail a credit check.
