Looks like Leap is abandoning it's "Original" Cricket scheme

Originally Cricket only sold through its own stores, requiring payment thru its payment centers rather than using the ubiquitous "prepaid" approach. I would think Leap will sell more phones and make subscribers happier, while leaving many original Cricket stores steamed with this new distribution model.
