Samsung in hot water over the Samsung SPH-V4400
We've never gotten quite pissed off enough at a manufacturer to actually file suit against them, but the upright South Korean citizens who make up "Tipsters for the Public Good" and a related group called "V4400 Consumers' Power" are taking legal action against Samsung for falsely advertising their SPH-V4400 cameraphone as being similar in quality to a standalone digital camcorder. Hard to imagine anyone realistically expecting sparkling video from a cameraphone, but the head of V4400 Consumers' Power is pissed, he says that Samsung advertised the V4400 as being able to record videos that would be comparable to those of a regular digital camcorder, but when he bought it he discovered that, "the difference between that and a real camcorder, which records 15-30 frames a second, is the difference between heaven and earth." Dude, you just lost us.
