Class Action Filed Against Verizon Wireless

Posted by michael on from the paper-pushing dept.

Nuclear Elephant writes "Kirtland & Packard has filed a California-based class action suit against Verizon Wireless alleging some of their handsets have been advertised to have certain features, only come to find later that they were crippled for profit. With the Motorola Bluetooth Hacker's Contest ending unsuccessfully, many have taken this opportunity as a last-ditch effort to change things at Verizon." We mentioned the Verizon/Bluetooth episode earlier.

    Not quite the same. It's more like they put a nice big honkin' v8, but use software to only let you run off of 4 cylinders. For an extra $.25 per cylinder per mile, you can enable make use of them.

    However the moonroof (OBEX), which is there, is locked out completely. It's just too dangerous for you to use (asteroids might fall in!).

    I stupidly signed up with Verizon. When my contract expires, I'm gone.
