Another day, another lawsuit

Another interesting case has happened just recently with one Russian guy. He bought a new Iphone right before Christmas holidays and when to Norway for 5 days with his family. Roaming worked great and he used google maps many times and surfed the net. After he got back he got a bill from the phone company for 500,000 rubles (about $14,000 in current rate) for five days. This sounds to me a bit bigger damage. The guys is quite naive if he decided to use the iphone in roaming.

It's the same old story.

Most people outside the US have become to reliant on the State to wipe their ass they've completely stopped thinking for themselves. Now we see many Americans are doing that as well. Truly sad.

And $5mil in damages? BS. Refund the money the guy has spent, maybe a few hundred bucks, and cancel his contract. Those are his actual damages. That our courts would even consider such a lawsuit is the very problem. We need tort reform.

Yes Neil, and that flattened mess of bread, meat, and sauce they throw me looks nothing like the Big Mac I see in the ads on TV.

I SMELL LAWSUIT!!!!

Good grief, does the Nanny State really need to tell us that products on TV commercials are enhanced to their ideal state, and their real-world use may not be accurately represented in a 30 SECOND ad? Or can we use our brains and decipher that for ourselves?

I spent $200 on a phone. It ain't not as fast as on the TeeVee. Gimme $5 million.
Five effin' million???

Given that ATT is the only US iPhone service provider, he has no choice but to suffer from their crappy network and system. Apple should not make those performance promises if their anointed service partner can't back them up.

Baaa baaa Mac Sheep have you any Bull? Yes sir, yes sir 3G full.

:-P

someone should tell him to try any other pda or smart phone out there, i bet he will change his tune pretty fast.

Jesus......why can't we just put idiots like this on an island and let them fight it out amongst themselves. People like this shouldn't be allowed in the general population.

FIVE MILLION DOLLARS?? This country is screwed if people continue to think like this. AT&T gives you 15 days (IIRC) to try thing out when you switch to them. If you don't like it, bring it back no questions asked.

What an idiot and an idiot lawyer - they're just looking to make some coin.

Oh and j - The Federal Trade Commission investigates truth-in-advertising complaints and levies fines and other consequences through the courts. Anyone can go file a complaint at ftc.gov

This individual should have their head examined as they clearly do not belong with the general public. GROW THE F&*% UP! Get rid of the phone. Better yet, try a Blackberry!

This is just a case of someone looking for a pay day, they haven't really been hurt by apple...and if they have it is to the tune of a few hundred dollars for the cost of the phone and the service, not the 5 million. Plus it's a commercial! you can't sue e-trade because your baby doesn't talk when you give him your BB.
