Yeah, I seriously doubt you're going to pay $300-$400 for a phone. It's not the manufacturers giving the phones away, it's the carriers, and it's in exchange for the contract. The manufacturer has to get a phone to the carrier for as cheap as possible and the only way to make money is the accessories, because the carriers won't pay for the value of the phone, because of the competition.

Hey, for a rambling piece of garbage, this is pretty well written. Why doesn't he just go ahead and sue Yahoo and Microsoft, while he's at it. Oh, right, the scrambled and turned upside-down angle. Oh well, good luck with that, pro se plaintiff, in forma pauperis. Classic.

"Prevent Identity Theft - Protect Your Social Security Number". Did anyone read the big bold letters? How is that site able to post all of that personal info? Now those people, he *can* sue.
He talks about not getting his anxiety medication while in jail in one of the complaints so definitely an inmate or recently released. Anyway, just google the phone number he left on the complaint form and you'll see a real phonebook entry. (That's a 570 area code)

We've seen some really bizarre and silly lawsuits filed against Google over the years, but this latest one wins hands down. Eric Goldman gets all the credit in the world for sending this one over. Someone has filed a handwritten lawsuit against Google, asking for $5 billion in damages, because his social security number, when turned upside down and scrambled spells Google. And then it gets weirder. The war on terrorism makes an appearance, as does a Burton snowboard. If you're reading this via RSS, click on through to see the filing in all its handwritten glory. Update: As pointed out in the comments, the guy actually filed 8 other things with the court, including a rather detailed description of how the Philadelphia 76ers play a key role in the code to unscramble his social security number to spell Google.
