Good example of pure diversion and rationalization of a company and product that just flat out is DEFECTIVE ....for WAY more than the 2% Apple has the audacity to claim.
(I'll continue trying to type as my screen face jumps all over the place,btw)
It's not just the fact that this device does not deliver as promised ('more bars in more places', twice the speed half the price'...etc)....it's a COMMUNICATION device.....peoples LIVES/BUSINESS often hinge on basic communication. (yeah , 'just leave a voice mail man, my phones not working'!)
Class action lawsuits are perfectly justified, and, a high powered firm could make impact.
More bars in more places is for AT&T, not Apple.
Twice as fast, half the price? Yep you guessed it, here is the disclaimer on the bottom of the same website where Apple advertises this, as well as at the bottom of their commercials:
"Comparisons between iPhone 3G (8GB) and first-generation iPhone (8GB) running on EDGE. Actual speeds vary by site conditions."
This is going to get laughed at and the plaintiff is going to be out of a lot of money, on top of looking like a jackass. There's a return policy for a reason, and if the iPhone was so bad then you should have seen that rather quickly. There is no false advertisement going on here. It is an iPhone, with the ability to get on the 3g network.
I don't see the problem. If you're dissatisfied with a product and haven't attempted to get the company to compensate you on their own accord, then you are a lunatic for taking them to court about lost money.
pdx, there are plenty of working phones out there. If it isn't this, go pick up any of the phones you had before last month.
