Suing Apple over iPhone 3g issues?

[JFSikora]

One lawsuit was just dropped actually. A judge dropped it and I'm glad. This person sued because the battery was not replaceable. People need to get a life.

Ok, on topic, update. I told you I was getting a different phone and ATT was giving me $200 if I stayed and tried a different phone. ATT blamed apple for the iphone phone call dropping woes.

So I went to the ATT store, bought a Blackjack II outright, just to test the network. Moved my sim card. If all is good I am moving to a Treo Pro.

Not one dropped call. Understand I have been through 3 iphones already because of dropped calls. I have made 2 dozen calls, without a dropped call. I couldn't make 3 calls without one of them being dropped.

So on Monday I will test it at work, (where I had either 5 bars or zero) and could never make calls.

So now it appears ATT might be right, it may be the radio in the phone, or maybe it is a certain kind of tower.

Either way if people were to sue, they might have grounds to sue Apple.

It's amazing how different each person's experience is.

My new iPhone gets better reception than my LG VX8600 on Verizon in Phoenix, AZ. I have had zero dropped calls since I signed up with AT&T 2 weeks ago. I took it to Las Vegas this weekend and it worked flawlessly.

I told you my apple supervisor that gave me the credit for $100 told me, "We (apple) are at fault for taking ATT at their word for the 3 G network, the network is not in place" If you don't think someone, is recording these responses and going to use them in court, you are wrong. ATT response is "Apple is telling everyone that it is ATT's fault, but realize, we have many other 3G phones that are not having issues"

The reason you will never hear about them again, is because Apple and ATT will settle with all of them. Without a lawsuit I am getting out of my contract, $200 from ATT, $100 (credit) from apple, all of my Apps refunded. the only thing i am not getting reimbursed for is my $85 vaja case (guess I could use it on the touch) that I haven't even received yet, and screen protectors.

certain people need to get a life. all there is to say.

Ethnocentricity is not a crime... yet, but let's remember AT&T is hardly the only carrier with the iPhone, and pretty much other countries -- not to mention antenna tests, and Wired's survey show AT&T is the hot zone for problems.
