An AT&T Wireless customer in Alabama is suing Apple over the iPhone 3G's widespread connection problems, hoping to start a Class Action lawsuit in the process.

"In a 10-page complaint, Jessica Smith alleges that Apple's latest handset is much slower than advertised and is prone to dropping calls," explains InformationWeek's Marin Perez. "Smith is seeking class-action status as these issues could potentially affect thousands of consumers."

"Apple's advertising blitz was misleading, the lawsuit claims," writes Computerworld's Gregg Keizer. "'Defendant intended for customers to believe its statements and representations about the Defective iPhone 3Gs, and to trust that the device was 'twice as fast at half the price,'' the lawsuit said."

    I would like to join the class action lawsuit. This 3g has been nothing short of a disaster for me. The reception cuts out all of the time, tons of dropped calls, the thing crashes everytime I try to update it, etc. I HATE THIS THING
