If Apple is not being sued over iPhones with cracking cases they are usually being sued for slower than advertised speeds. Lets not forget AT&T, they are involved with this latest lawsuit as well.

This suit has been filed in the good state of New Jersey by Damone Dickerson. Dickerson claims Apple misrepresented the speed, strength and overall performance of AT&T’s 3G network. The lawsuit also claims he could only connect to the 3G network periodically. Can we say “possible fringe area”? According to Macworld the charges against both companies include the following:

Negligence, Breach of Express Warranty, Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability, Unjust Enrichment, Negligent Misrepresentation, Violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and Other Similar State Statutes, and Breach of Contract.

Dickerson is seeking to recover compensatory, statutory and punitive damages. What’s next? Will it come down to all of Apple’s TV commercials for the iPhone being yanked off of the airwaves?

Once RAZR-sharp, now Icahnicly troubled Motorola has filed suit in Illinois court against Apple.
