Let's talk about the iPhone.

Speaking of Cingular, one of their class action lawsuits was settled recently. I received a check from the first time I had them (maybe 10 years ago) where I had to buy myself out of the contract due to poor service. I received a check for the amount I paid to buy out.

That's actually kind of surprising. Usually you get a credit that you will never use. In a class action against AT&T wireless, I received a coupon for 40% off of accessories. Accessories that were over-priced to begin with

I'm waiting to see what will come of the class action suit over the merger and how Cingular refused to help AT&T customers unless they converted their accounts and then charged them for new [more expensive plans], new equipment and activation fees, charging termination fees to those who were no longer receiving the same quality reception as they did with AT&T and converting accounts from AT&T into Cingular accounts with no notice and requiring new phones, plans and activation fees to be paid before they would assist you (this is what happened to me).
