They just keep moving my desk, and now they took my stapler.
"No, we didn't fire him, we 'fixed the glitch'."

The thing that surprises me is that some people that were very very concerned about MMS bought an iPhone anyway. Obviously, if people can go for a good while with a phone that lacks this feature, it's not as important as they made it out to be.
In my opinion, this person is a fucking idiot. I'm not a fan of AT&T, but if MMS was important to me, the lack of it on the iPhone would give me a moment of pause. If I deem the feature trivial enough to go with an iPhone anyway, I would not be as concerned if the addition was not exactly on the promised date. Really, it's a stupid technicality. He's a douchebag, not just for being so nitpicky about the time of addition, but for even being so pissy over something he didn't care to have immediately in another product.

I bought my phone with the anticipation I could one day throw it at a rapists head and disable him...
Whats your point? People dont REALLY purchase something in "anticipation" if that anticipation time frame isnt sooner then later.

Either you deliver on that deadline, or you don't. Honestly, I have to wonder why they didn't just stuck it up and do it a week earlier. Sure, perhaps they were getting more capacity in place, but that doesn't mean that they couldn't have launched it and gradually fixed the problem. Hell, AT&T pretty much is synonymous with issues, overloaded backhaul, failing to scale, failing to meet capacity, dropped calls...
Yesterday's MMS launch was hardly without issue, after the initial launch I was able to send MMS for the first hour, and then it was down until about midnight. Fail.

So go to another network. There isn't any excuse for this dipshit's lawsuit. Tell me, how the heck is he damaged in monetary terms?

There is a subtlety that is often lost in the popular perception of the legal system:
All suing means is that you've typed up a document, titled it "Summons and Complaint", paid a fee and filed it with the court. Anyone can sue for anything. Just because someone sues doesn't mean that anything will happen. In fact, the suit could very well be summarily dismissed with a motion.
People are free to pay their filing fees and file their complaints - no matter how frivolous - because if be started putting roadblocks up at the courthouse, a lot of genuinely aggrieved people would no longer have the last refuge of compensation.
We let everyone sue so that everyone has access. To make sure that only the deserving actually get the compensation they deserve, there are lawyers to advocate for their clients, judges to adjudicate the proceedings and make sure that the rules of litigation are observed, and juries to sit in judgment.
Then, there are the cold realities of the practice of law that help stave off frivolous lawsuits. Let's say that the plaintiffs win class certification, that they survive a motion to dismiss at the outset, that they are found to have a colorable claim (one that has the bare necessity to make out a claim - not necessarily one that is meritorious or that will be victorious). Let's say this happens. Then what?
The lawyer who signed up this suit decided that he wants to play chicken against one of the best law firms in the nation which is bankrolled by a very image-conscious global corporation that generates tens of billions of dollars of profits every year. He now gets to go through discovery - a war of attrition, a death of a thousand cuts as the hours of work poring through endless documents pile up. Imagine jabbing a rabid elephant with a safety pin. Congratulations - you've just angered a behemoth.
A lot of silly suits get to the courthouse steps; very few of them make it to opening statements before an empaneled jury.

AT&T said by late summer, their probly was delays, shit happens.
If someone wanted MMS and they knew that the iPhone didn't have it when they bought it, why the fuck did they buy it in the first place.

A delay in what MMS is not hard to activate what happen with all the other carriers that had the iphone they didnt take all summer so why does at&t can you explain that.
If phones from the $40 price range to $1000 do not have any problems with it why does the iphone
