Worcester, MA | A bit self serving? The oddest thing I noticed about this bill is that it wasn't brought about because of a public outcry of being taken advantage of by the cell phone companies. But the fact that this legislation was brought about because an Illinois legislator got frustrated when her Motorola Q phone broke 3 times.
"SPRINGFIELD -- The first time her new Motorola Q phone went on the fritz, she thought it was a fluke. When her phone had to be replaced a second time, she got frustrated.
When it malfunctioned a third time, Rep. Susana Mendoza was fed up.
"I thought something had to be done about this. Then I thought: Wait, I can do something about this," said Mendoza, a Chicago Democrat who is sponsoring legislation to create a cell-phone lemon law."
Had her phone not broke but there was a public outcry for some legislative protection against defective phones, do you really think that this bill would be around?? I don't.

| I see this bill dying quietly in committee after Rep. Mendoza gets a large campaign donation from the cell phone lobby.

It just proves that she's not smart enough to operate a Smart Phone. She should have gotten a plain jane Nokia with nothing fancy. |
