In the middle of August, AT&T was on the receiving end of a class action lawsuit in Louisiana for not enabling MMS on the iPhone as they said they would by the end of the summer. Even though it ended up arriving September, another suit has bubbled up in Alabama. iPhone owner Clyde Bernard Franklin is launching the class action lawsuit on behalf of all Alabamans who picked up Apple’s smartphone on or after July 1 of last year and is seeking punitive and compensatory damages under the Alabama Deceptive Trade Practices Act. It’s a little late to be going after AT&T for this now, but you can hardly blame somone for trying to squeeze a few pennies out of them, considering the latest sales numbers.
