This is just the usual scummy law firms wanting to make a buck to go away with a settlement. It is called greenmail and isn't much more moral than blackmail. There are just too many law school graduates that need to pay back their student loans and will do anything to make a buck.

Boston, MA | No, but ComEd doesn't bill me for power during the time that it's out. They're entitled to a pro-rated refund for the days that the service was not working, but being paid for. | |

Your power goes out for **DAYS** ?
Your avatar shows Boston, unless you there is a BF nowhere Boston in Massachusetts, how the hell does power go out for days in a big city like that?

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what? | |

No, I didn't say that at all. But whatever period that my power is out for - be it minutes, hours, or days - I'm not being billed for it.
A company is not entitled to payment for a service that they didn't actually provide. | |

| | | | | I've gone 14 days so far here in the city. Too bad their focus is on Fiber and running private business out of business instead maintaining their power infrastructure. | |

| | enrichment ?? this lawsuit make it seem as if RIM made/save money because of outage. Most probably RIM actually would have spent tons of money fixing this issue (with all the overtime and probably expediting hardware replacement etc.) | |

Boston, MA | Re: enrichment ?? That's not the customers' problem. If someone pays for 30 days of service (in a billing cycle) and only gets 27, they should get a refund for the 3 days they didn't get service but were paying for it. | |
|
| | | | Re: enrichment ?? That's actually the cell phone provider's problem. Cell phones didn't stop working as a result of the outage, only messaging stopped. | |

It's also a consumer product, no SLA's involved.

So if I walk into a store, pay for a product, and then the store doesn't give me my product, I'm not entitled to a refund because I didn't have an SLA?
Or if I hire someone to shovel snow, and they don't show up, I still need to pay them because I don't have an SLA? | |

Surely you jest. A Sh*t load of people use them including myself.
But, for how much longer Hee Hee.

| | lawyers of course this is a stupid ambulance chaser looking to get in on the action. Thing is RIM pays out to the carriers SLA penalties for such things (seven figures per carrier). You think carriers wouldn't cover their ass for such eventualities? | |
|
| | Does RIM collect any $$$?? Google is free even apples iCloud is free (e-mail and contact storage etc.)
But does RIM charge? if so Yes they should issue refunds but if they are anything like google and apple then what refund is available? Heck they are giving free paid apps, isn't that enough?
I would think you should still be able to text and call because it was not a provider outage it was a BBM outage. Seeing most people have a corporate e-mail address you "could" always check your e-mail from your computer. From what I understand you could not connect to BBM services. | |

New Orleans, LA | I have no issue with it I use my phone just about every minute for work.
I pay an amount per month that I think is criminal.
If my phone's network went off for a day or more...I would want a refund for that day even if it is a few bucks.
Someone brought up power...yes, if my power went off, the power company would not charge me for that day. When my DirecTV goes out (not often), I call DirecTV and they give me either some credits or something financially. | |
|
| | Rip off From a systems administrator standpoint, I completely loath the blackberrys.
For the BB to fully communicate (email, contacts, calendar) with an exchange server, I have to purchase/setup/maintain a blackberry exchange server and also pay a monthly access fee to connect to that server.
Guess what? Android/iPhones can fully connect directly to exchange without any additional hardware/software/fees. | |

Cortland, NY | Re: Rip off You are misinformed. BESX is free for up to 75 users. I have 12 active synch devices that hammer my server harder than my 72 BB users.
And BB with OS 4.2 or higher can connect to OWA - which did seem to work for some during the outage.
And with BB you get a shedload more administrative features. | |
|
| | | | Re: Rip off I stand corrected. BES was already in place when I took over. Good to know it’s free up to 75 users. However, Sprint does charge me $30 a month to connect that server (I still don’t understand why). If I can sync email/contacts/calendar via OWA, then I'm going to move my 1 user off BES and get rid of it. | |
