Cjvitek, good point about suing AT&T and not Apple, though I feel it is more of a Apple issue. Why some people have issues and others do not is beyond me. I just don't think it's ethical to sue over cell phone issues, wahhhhh my phone don't work right all the time, let's sue for 5 million! So sad.
I am of two minds regarding suing. Generally, I feel that there are too many lawsuits, and people are too quick to sue (and for too much money!). In addition, in class action lawsuits, it is the lawyers who get rich - they make a HUGE commission, while each member of the lawsuit gets $20 at the Itunes store or something.

But having said that, the threat of lawsuits can also keep people and companies honest. So let's assume for the moment that Apple is the one to "blame" for the various iPhone problems (although I would personally blame both Apple and AT&T - it's a joint venture).

I can see holding Apple culpable if Apple made claims that weren't able to be kept, or that someone kept the phone past the 30 day period because they were told "oh, it will be fixed with the next firmware update".
