Law firm Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff is at work lining up plaintiffs for a suit against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) over the alledged antenna problems on its iPhone 4.

The firm put out the following message yesterday:

KCR is currently investigating potential problems with the release of iPhone 4. “If you recently purchased the new iPhone and have experienced poor reception quality, dropped calls and weak signals, we would like to hear from you. Please call us toll-free at (888) 285-3333, click “live chat” above to immediately speak with a KCR representative, or email us for more details. KCR is currently investigating potential problems with the release of iPhone 4. “

The new phone apparently has reception problems when it is held in a position which cuts off its 3G connection.The firm has sued Facebook and MySpace over ads placed on their sites.

It is easy to write-off the move as ambulance chasing, but if the iPhone 4 has a reception problem, there may be a case if Apple cannot fix it quickly. Consumers have paid as much as $200 for the phone, and they may not tolerate a flaw that undermines connections or call quality.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
