Actually, wireless telephone service is a "best effort" enterprise. There are no performance guarantees by anyone. If it works, great. If it doesn't...tough luck. There are so many variables that bringing legal action over a minor design flaw is pissing in the wind. Do you sue the carrier if the cell site goes down? How about if the system is congested? What about if the battery goes dead, or the phone suddenly fails for no reason? > It doesn't matter how much you love Apple or what the law is. Yes, "what the law is" does matter. In fact, that's all that should matter in court. I doubt that anyone here "loves" Apple, any more than anyone can "love" or "hate" any company. This issue is less than a week old. I think I'm content to wait a few more days (or even weeks) to see what Apple does. I can almost guarantee it *won't* be a recall. But chill out, man. The beauty of it all is that if you don't want an iPhone 4, you don't have to buy and iPhone 4. Isn't competition and free enterprise wonderful? -- John Higdon +1 408 ANdrews 6-4400 AT&T-Free At Last
