I don't know about the US but here in th UK we have a sale of goods act,
the retailer can be forced to take back faulty items so it's not
necessarily apple doing the honourable thing.

I've used the sale of goods act to force several retailers to accept
back goods and refund my money.

I'd be interested to comare the reception on my 3G vs an Iphone 4 and a
more mundane phone such as Nokia side by side. Anyone have a 4 on O2
near Sth Leicestershire??

Yes, we do, too, but business has them convinced everything is the
consumer's fault so most ever know it's there for their protection.

Federal Law is called the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Protection Act, named
after the two congressmen who wrote it. Reference is 15USC50 section 2300
et. al.

Section 2304 is most interesting reading.....(c;]

The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with its enforcement, but it's like
getting an elephant to move off your foot. A good warrantee law solicitor
makes great use of it as it's quite easy to read and judges are hamstrung
towards the consumer in its adjudication. I've returned, against their
will, very expensive items that were crap with it....most notably a
defective personal watercraft that cost over $8000US
