This is a discussion on Class action lawsuit filed against Apple within the iPhone 3G forums, part of the Apple iPhone category; Rocky, leave your mark on my site under the latest post. I have over 1000 votes, 77% ( I believe) ...
Rocky, leave your mark on my site under the latest post.
I have over 1000 votes, 77% ( I believe) are having problems. I have started a section for people who will support the lawsuit. Just post your name and your willingness and check back.
I have contacted the plaintiff and attorney so hopefully I will here back.
More bars in more places is for at&t, not Apple.Originally Posted by Rockky
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.
not saying the suit has a chance in hell.
Don't care.
It's the principle of the action.
Warranted.
People have committed to a 2 yr $2500 plus contract to a device that's relied upon in this day and age way more than the previous post wants to recognize.
It is failing many.
Take it to the company...regardless of outcome.
I can prove it, all day every day. And I'm not talking missed calls.
The Iphone has weak 3G reception, period. Anyone who wants to drive around for a day with me, or a week with any smart phone or any other ATT 3g phone will have the case in point ....PROVEN.
I'm out on my way out, to go eat Sushi. WITH both my 3G phones, one Iphone (wanna be phone) one rock solid att 3G Samson blackjack!! LOL...
I have to say I do not support the Law Suit. Everything in life has flaws.
MaximumPC October issue has an exclusive on Microsoft's $6 billion failure. Microsoft bares all, telling us what went wrong with Vista and how they fixed the problems.
That is all I want from Steve Jobs, is to respond to the Public and provide a fix or at least say something about the problem. Over a month and no response from Apple, 2 updates and only minor bug fixes. How many people actually work for Apple? Its like they have one programmer and he seems lost.
having that many votes speaks nothing. if you have ever taken basic statistics it is a term called bias. it is the same reason why any survey based on service is more likely to get negative feedback than positive. people who are upset with something voice their opinion, while people who are satisfied generally could care less and go on with their every day activities.

Service Cancellation
You may cancel service within 30 days from the activation date to avoid the early termination fee of $175. Thereafter the fee will decrease by $5 each month for the term of the agreement. You will be responsible for all applicable usage fees, prorated access charges, taxes, surcharges or other charges through the termination date. AT&T will refund your activation fee, if any, if service is terminated within 3 days of activation.
You may have to return any handsets and accessories purchased with the service before your account will be cancelled. If you are allowed to cancel service within the 30 day return period, but do not return the equipment within the return period, AT&T may charge you an amount equal to or up to the full retail price of the equipment.

Yep, take the flipping phone back. And get out of your $2500 2 yr contract, all at the same time!
For you people who are so business savvy and dependent on your phones for your livelihood, you surely are quite masochistic.
Why would you not choose to stop losing all this money and instead get a phone that makes you happy?
You're right, perhaps I don't understand what you're trying to say. If I wasn't happy with something and it "cost" me almost $10,000 dollars then I surely would not keep the phone and support a frivolous lawsuit based solely on principle.
have you ever taken a look at the AT&T coverage maps? getting 3g reception is not guaranteed everywhere, and not to mention if you are upset about your coverage that is an issue with AT&T not with Apple. just because it is an iphone 3g doesn't mean you get 3g coverage EVERYWHERE you are.
I am with you on that. I can still prove dropped calls with update 2.0.2. My wife just ask me at lunch (7pm) why I hung up on her.
I do noticed most of my dropped call are while I am driving, but had e few while walking around places.
At least I have good 3G reception at home and work (live next to and work at DFW APO)
Here's something else to make this even more frivolous:
http://www.electronista.com/articles...old.vs.iphone/
The analyst also notes that the BlackBerry (Bold) suffers from the same problems of the iPhone, including 3G connection problems; the device will frequently drop 3G in favor of a slower, 2G EDGE link when downtown. Suva speculates that the flaw may likewise stem from rough software and that AT&T may have delayed its launch primarily to stabilize 3G performance.
That's going to make this one tough to prove against Apple, huh? All kinds of doubt whether this is AT&T or apples' fault.
