Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G

Macworld is reporting that Apple and AT&T are being sued, again, for the lack of delivery on their 3G network. This follows a long line of other lawsuits in San Jose, San Diego, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and New York "The lawsuit charges the companies with Negligence, Breach of Express Warranty, Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability, Unjust Enrichment, Negligent Misrepresentation, Violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and Other Similar State Statutes, and Breach of Contract. Dickerson is seeking to force Apple and AT&T to correct its labeling and advertising, as well as to recover compensatory, statutory and punitive damages."

WTF?

If you don't like the service, don't use it. It's that simple. Nobody's forcing you to choose Apple/AT&T.

can you hear me now?

Gooood. If you can do without the iphone, go Verizon for 3G and don't look back.

Jeeze, if every consumer that was dissatisfied with their purchase were to sue, we'd all be in court for a lifetime. Get over it.

Or, how about businesses represent their products truthfully? For example, unlimited actually meaning unlimited - no bullshit mice type with "conditions". The same goes for Apple. And maybe, just maybe, if there were more lawsuits, business would stop BSing people and tell the truth about their product. I have to wonder, how many people paid all that money for Apple's phone because they expected the performance advertised. I think Apple hyped the product to justify their outlandish price.

I believe you have thirty days to return the phone and cancel the contract without the early termination charges, which brings this back firmly into the land of whiny bitch.

From AT&T's website:

Cancellations/Early Termination Fee: An Early Termination Fee of $175 may be assessed against you in the event that you terminate your Wireless Service Agreement and/or selected plan before the expiration of its term. For Service activated on or after May 25, 2008, the Early Termination Fee will be reduced by $5.00 for each full month toward your minimum term that you complete. You may cancel your service, for any reason and without incurring the Early Termination Fee, within thirty (30) days of signing your Wireless Service Agreement, PROVIDED, however, that if you cancel service you will remain responsible for any service fees and charges incurred. If you cancel within three (3) days of signing your Wireless Service Agreement, you will be entitled to a refund of your activation fee, if any. If you exercise this option, you may be required to return devices and associated accessories purchased in connection with your Wireless Service Agreement.
