But, applaud her? NO WAY...When I bought my xbox 360 and ps3 I knew the prices would drop within a month but because I wanted it so bad I wanted it that month it came out. I think she realized that paying 600 for a cell phone is a ridiculous idea anyways and is probably trying to find a way to pay off her credit card she bought the phone with. And in the technology field NOTHING is an investment trust me I work in the IT field. If you buy something today, it is already old tomorrow and something bigger and better is coming out. Phones are no way an investment. I too agree with Ryan again, we do thank you for your comment. But, applaud her?

I love to play "devil's advocate" and poke holes into arguments. But this time, I can't really find one to poke. <i>She was clearly duped by Apple’s hip marketing campaign, which touted iPhones as “investment grade” assets that were guaranteed to increase in value.</i> I did not see this particular advertisement, but as a general rule, electronics do not increase in value in the long term. With the exception of over-hyped or limited run items, I can't think of any mainstream electronics product that has increased in value shortly after going on sale. Yes, the PS3, X-Box 360 and other gaming systems were easily resold for profits in the first days, just like the iPhone, but after the initial frenzy, the prices have dropped considerably. They key is having patience. People should realize from past examples that after the hype wears off and availability increases, the ability to resell for a profit greatly diminishes, or vanishes altogether. I can't seem to justify the argument in her lawsuit that she should be able to resell her phone for the same price as someone else. Nowhere is it required for a company to price something so that individuals can resell it for a profit. That would be detrimental to the company producing the product. I can't find a reason to applaud her. Apple Inc. offered refunds to those who purchased their iPhone within the 14 day window, and offered everyone else a $100 Apple Store voucher. I think Apple did enough on their end. She is just being greedy and looking for attention. Still, I thank you for your comment. :) American Joe, you have the contrarian point of view here, and I respect that. I love to play “devil’s advocate” and poke holes into arguments.

I'll sue for causing me anger for her stupidity. I think I should sue her for a million in damages + a slap in the face from any person with an IQ above 100 who would like to.

When I buy a new computer I dont get to sue anyone because its lost its value in a period of 2 months. I hope as well that the judge laughs in her face.
