An iPhone Class Action Suit Is in the Works

Raise your hand if you didn’t see this one coming. The lawsuit will no doubt focus on the holding-it-wrong flaw…not the breaks-if-you-drop-it flaw, not the yellow-spots flaw, not the built-from-conflict-materials flaw, not the iPhone-requires-OS-10.5 flaw and definitely not the volume-buttons-are-swapped flaw (those are no doubt coming).

Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff, LLP is looking for people who "recently purchased the new iPhone and have experienced poor reception quality, dropped calls and weak signals." That's the same firm that filed a federal class action suit over deceptive "offer" ads in games like Mafia Wars and Farmville. In the case of the fourth-generation iPhone, released last week, the phone shows fewer reception bars if you hold it wrong; Apple has suggested gripping it different.
