Regardless of whether someone reads blogs, does that absolve them from responsibility? If you see a car on TV, buy it, and then find out that it doesn't work with Ethanol, are you justified in starting a class-action lawsuit?

And really, what reason would someone have to believe that they would be able to use their iPhone on a different network? It's standard procedure to lock a phone to a network, it's not like that come out of nowhere. And as far as a termination fee, why wouldn't there be a termination fee? That's standard procedure for a phone contract as well. It doesn't even matter whether the phone is subsidized, the layperson wouldn't even know whether it was.

I mean seriously, do at least a little homework before you buy something! This is pretty basic even for non-nerds.
