Tech blog Gizmodo is reporting that a group of iPhone 4 users in the US have filed a class action lawsuit against Apple and AT&T relating to the reception problems that affect the handset when it is held in a certain position.
The lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the District of Maryland by Ward & Ward, PLLC and Charles A. Gilman, LLC. on behalf of Kevin McCaffrey, Linda Wrinn and several other iPhone 4 users.
It accuses Apple and AT&T of General Negligence; Breach of Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose; Deceptive Trade Practices; and Intentional Misrepresentation, among other stuff. 
At least now we may find out whether Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ email advice to one iPhone 4 user who complained of the problem to “just avoid holding it in that way” will stand up in court.
