Re: Class action against Netgear - WGT624 hangs /d
I run software development for a company that develops embedded products. Mobile - cellular space - not competing with Netgear - but I know what it means to deliver software products on difficult environment. If my company ever released a product with the defects that Netgear has (Check out the Netgear BBS for details – it seems to be defective power supply and heating in those units, and Netgear completely ignores the consumer complaints here) we would have to recalled it instantly. We know we would have gotten sued for much less then the mistakes Netgear have done. And this mechanism holds us accountable.
"Lawyers get rich on, consumer get nothing"
What are you basing your statement on?
Lawyers typically get 1/3 of what you get as consumer. At the most. So if you get $5, they get $1.66 for doing all the work and research upfront without any guarntees.
So if you like letting companies take advantage of you - which Netgear has done and continues to do with these models - go ahead and stay quite. If you want to get your money back - which is probably what is going to happen – and verify that it does not happen with the next product you buy, speak up. |

Newport, RI | Since you feel so good about these lawyers, whats their hourly rate?
Personally, I would write to the judge and implore him/her to not include me in this lawsuit. |
