If you are a California resident interested in participating as a class representative in an iPhone class action lawsuit against Apple Inc., please contact the Law Office of Damian R. Fernandez immediately if one or more of the following categories applies:

 

You own an iPhone and you want to transfer to a wireless carrier other than AT&T. You fall into this category even if you did not unlock your iPhone or have your iPhone disabled by an iPhone update.

 

 

 

Your iPhone was disabled, malfunctioned, or you had third-party applications erased after you downloaded iPhone update 1.1.1.

 

 

 

You contacted Apple to repair your iPhone and Apple refused to honor your warranty because you did any one the following: (1) unlocked your iPhone, or (2) installed a third party application.

 

 

 

You incurred a cancellation fee from your previous wireless carrier when you transferred to AT&T’s wireless service.

 

 

 

You incurred roaming charges while travelling abroad with your iPhone.

 

 

 

You purchased a third-party warranty at extra cost for your iPhone because of Apple’s released statement that it will not honor warranties on unlocked iPhones.

 

 

 

You do not have to be in all of these categories, just one or more than one.

 

 

A small number of consumers may file a class action lawsuit, representing all consumers that purchased the iPhone. A class action suit can provide a powerful and effective means for consumers to compel a corporation to acknowledge its legal responsibilities and provide just compensation to the class members.

Good. Apple acts like the iPhone was a gift to mankind.

 

It's such a useless, bug-ridden device. The last software update screwed over alot of people, even those who are LEGIT AT&T customers.

 

Sure, Apple is good at making an OS, but not a phone, and it's very apparent.

Oh, thank God, it's about time. Poor people who bought an iPhone and just wanted to extend functionality of it.

 

Also, Davel, what's with the sad faces? This is a really good thing...

Put up or shut up. Show us the microsoft equivalent that works better :censored2:

 

You're constant whinning is the kind of response that is very tired and boring, and well quite frankly the kind of {censored} that gives the PC-wonker-type such a bad name. Do yourself a favor and stop with the girlish, knee-jerk PC vs Mac bull yadda-yadda and grow up. Please :(

 

Regarding the lawsuit, best of luck. Hopefully your attorney won't get bought off like ours apparently did.

This ISN'T a "PC vs Mac bull yadda-yadda". It is FACT that the device has serious quality and software issues and need to be addressed. Some have been addressed, but for example, Apple knew that travelling with the iPhone would rack up roaming internet charges, costing thousands a phone bill up to 10 times more than a regular bill, BEFORE the iPhone was released. Or how about the latest version of the iPhone software update, 1.1.1, bricking even legit AT&T customer's iPhones? This leaves these customers several days without iPhones, with Apple requiring $30 to rent a loaner phone while their iPhones are being repaired because of their mistake. Apple is basically saying to them, "OOPS, Our mistake, YOUR loss.", and you think this is FAIR?

 

Why attack me for my opinion about Apple's iPhone, anyway? I love the vast majority of Apple's products, especially their laptops (along with OS X). However, you on the other-hand seem to be front-row-center when it comes to Microsoft bashing (or anything anti-Apple, really) on this board. Hypocrite? I think so. I mean, come on -- look at your avy; it's an icon of Finder 'bashing' Windows. :D

How exactly is it Apples fault that it racks up roaming charges and not AT&T's? :rolleyes: You said the iPhone was useless, it's not. You said it was bug ridden, it's not. Does it have a few problems? Of course, any new product will, but you seem to over exaggerate the issue. I think you are jealous of those that have an iPhone. They call that iPhone envy. LOL :) BTW- many people don't like the iPhone, BUT they don't constantly whine about it ever chance they get like you do. They simply keep their money in their wallet. Also for your information I am NOT pro-Apple. I call them as I honestly see them. I have stated many times that the (new) iMac is a joke. I also do NOT bash MS all of the time. For example, I think they make some of the best keyboards around and I plan on buying a 8000 soon. However, their operating systems, and most of their other software is third rate for this day and age. As far as my avatar goes well it has 100% to do with the username and nothing else. Anyone in the 4th grade could have put 1+1 together and figured that out. Back on topic, looking forward to your answer for how AT&T's problems are supposed to be Apples, and we're still waiting for you to show us the microsoft equivalent that works better than the iPhone. LOL :D

Have you even used an iPhone? Before the 1.1.1 update (you know, the firmware of the first 4 months of it's launch) there was NO OPTION to turn off EDGE on the iPhone, except turning on Airplane mode, which defeats the purpose of bringing the phone with you on vacation out of the States. And since EDGE is ALWAYS ON, anyone who setup push e-mail on the iPhone would be getting messages in the background via the ROAMING EDGE/GPRS network. This was NOT an AT&T issue. APPLE makes and programs the iPhone. NOT AT&T.

 

Dude, the iPhone is REALLY buggy. If it's not issues with the firmware updates, it's because their iPhones 'forget' e-mail settings. Or that the multi-touch screen has dead spots. Or it de-registers itself from the AT&T network, causing a "No Service" issue. Or that it won't even connect to a 64-bit WEP encrypted Wi-Fi network. Or that you need to restart your phone on a bi-daily basis because Safari/YouTube crashes.

 

How do I know this? I work with iPhones all-day, everyday, 5 days a week. There's an iPhone sitting at my desk every morning when I walk into work. Believe me, there's no envy. Only annoyance of people complaining day-after-day that their iPhone doesn't work because their iPhones are malfunctioning (some are even on their 3rd and 4th unit).

And why the hell would I compare it to a "Microsoft equivelent"? No one even mentioned Microsoft prior to your post. I'm not affilliated with MS, and I've never even spent a single dime on a Microsoft product. Maybe you're not "pro-Apple", but you're definately ANTI-Microsoft, and it's very immature.

As far as my avatar goes well it has 100% to do with the username and nothing else. Anyone in the 4th grade could have put 1+1 together and figured that out.
You must know some dumb 4th graders because your avatar is Finder pushing Windows off to the side, not "eating" Windows. Even a pre-schooler would have figured that out. :)

That's only your opinion. I know many people who love their iPhone. If they are as bad as you suggest that they are, then it will show up in the next sales reports. If you are wrong then that will show up too ;)

 

Maybe you're not "pro-Apple", but you're definately ANTI-Microsoft

I am neither. When they make a good product I support them. When they don't (which is most of the time) then I don't support them. One thing that I definitely don't like about MS is how they are so corrupt and they lie to the public, and their so-called 'tech support' is a joke.

First you're telling me that roaming EDGE charges due to iPhone's push e-mail features is AT&T's fault, and now you're saying that buggy iPhones are just MY opinion? Do you even read my posts? It's not "just" my opinion. It's ALOT of people's opinions. People who I work with. People who have iPhones. Who are you to argue with people who have an iPhone? Do you even have an iPhone?

 

And sales do not reflect how "bad" a product is. If your theory is true, then what can be said about Microsoft Windows? LOL.

It is painful sometimes, I'll admit that :P

 

It's not "just" my opinion.

At best it's just a handful of peoples opinion. For every person who whines about this, there are 10 that love the iPhone. I go to a lot of different forums. You're the only one that I've seen really cry about this. The bottom line is that people will stop buying the iPhone IF you are right. However, IF you are wrong, sales will remain strong. We'll see who's right :(

 

If your theory is true, then what can be said about Microsoft Windows?

Sales of vista are way down. Some companies are now even allowing customers to switch vista for XP. That proves my 'theory' as you call it, and so does the rising Mac market share. Ta-ta ;)

Thats because the people who have complaints about their iPhone can't log into the message board because their iPhone's safari browser keeps crashing. ;)

 

Besides, you cry about Microsoft in nearly every single post that you're starting to sound like a broken record. Don't be such a hypocrite.

That wasn't the point of my post. Apparently you have some literacy problems... (ahem... :angel: ) If a product sells like hot cakes, does that mean its good? Or does it just mean that it's popular?

 

Britney Spears has sold millions upon millions of albums world-wide. Do you consider her "music" good?

 

It still boggles my mind that you're defending a product that you probably haven't even used. Apple Fanboy, anyone?

Do you have ANY idea of how many iPhones have been sold? And you're saying that you know them all, and that the only reason why they aren't included in complaining is because they can't log into a message board? Couldn't be because a large majority of them are happy with the product could it? You need to up your medication dosage.

 

you cry about Microsoft in nearly every single post

If those posts are about vista, then yes. Say something wrong about their keyboards and I'll defend them. You can't see this because you are in a state of denial.

 

If a product sells like hot cakes, does that mean its good? Or does it just mean that it's popular?

Could be both.

 

Britney Spears has sold millions upon millions of albums world-wide. Do you consider her "music" good?

I personally do not, however all of the people that did buy it - DO think that she's good. Rap is another perfect example. People buy what THEY think is good. Sometimes the product is not good but it's hyped and they 'think' it's good, so they buy it. Ultimately history has shown that people vote with their wallets.

 

It still boggles my mind that you're defending a product that you probably haven't even used.

I'm not defending the product! Our original statement to you was:

 

"You're constant whinning is the kind of response that is very tired and boring, and well quite frankly the kind of {censored} that gives the PC-wonker-type such a bad name. Do yourself a favor and stop with the girlish, knee-jerk PC vs Mac bull yadda-yadda and grow up. Please."

 

Now show everyone here where in that statement I said ANYTHING about the product being great? (insert Jeopardy theme music) Seems your comprehension skills are a bit weak CLiDE. My statement had nothing to do with the iPhone, it had to do with YOU and your constant immature knee-jerk whinning. Go ahead, read it over again. Maybe this time a little light bulb will turn on inside your head. Do not get up until the ride has come to a complete stop :angel:

Regarding the iPhone: Two of my friends have one, it is fantastic. Nearly every time I see one of them I ask to play with their phone :( For a business user it is clearly lacking in certain features, as noted in Paul Thurrott's review: Winsupersite review. Two things (aside from the lack of certain smart phone features,which don't apply to me) are wrong with the iPhone: Insane Fees, and how locked-down it is. You can't add third party apps? psssh. Still, if you use AT&T, there is no reason not to buy one.

'tech support' is a joke.

In all of my experiences, MS tech support has been helpful.

I think the iPhone has at least inspired other companies to design similar devices that actually are reliable and bug-free. I have no idea if the iphone is reliable or not, since I don't have one. I do think that other smartphones have been getting better in its aftermath.

We both know that Apple will fix the bugs in time.

 

Anyone with any brains knows that the first generation of any new product has some bugs. That's why a lot of people wait before they buy...

 

Most of the people unhappy and certainly the people who are sueing are doing so because of the bricking. As time goes on more and more about the truth of the matter will come out. As erei33 mentioned above there are reasons for some not to like the iPhone, but initial bugs or bricking aren't one of them.

Question.... have you ever had an iphone in your hand?

 

In reference about your question for the sad faces, i don't think this is a god thing, i love the phone, i love apple, and as and apple fan i don't think is a god idea trying to get some money from people that work really hard.

 

by the way i have two i phones... LOL

People c'mon, cool off; it's only a phone, if you like it you buy, if you not you don't buy.... seems everything is an excuse to start a flame war and the smart thing is to use the best of all worlds regarding if is one or the other. :D
