Apple, AT&T Sued by iPhone 3G Owner for Dropped Calls
Apple and AT&T are now facing a lawsuit over iPhone 3G performance. Both companies are sued by Eulardi Tanseco, a native of New Jersey, for breaking state's consumer antifraud law, as well as violating other warranty, breach-of-contract and fraud statutes.
Tanseco claims that he could only connect to AT&T's older, and slower, EDGE data network. During those few occasions that he initially had a 3G connection, the device would mostly shift to EDGE. Data transmission would drop from the 3G protocol to the much slower EDGE protocol. Apple was also alleged of tricking customers with the App Store which "consistently crash."
AT&T's involvement in the lawsuit is due to "failure to advise its customers that the iPhone 3G was not capable of connecting and/or maintaining a connection with AT&T's 3G network to complete data transmission."
