Apple Customer Sues Over iPhone 3G Glitches

Service nowhere close to what's advertised, complaint alleges

Share

(Newser) – An Alabama woman is suing Apple after purchasing the new iPhone 3G, alleging the gizmo does not nearly live it to its hype—plagued by problems like slow email and text-messaging, excessive dropped calls, and the inability to connect to AT&T’s 3G network. Her complaints are echoed across the Internet, Ars Technica notes.
