Well it was only a matter of time before someone, somewhere decided on rallying the unhappy iPhone users and it seems that one California law firm is out soliciting clients. On their web site the law offices of Damian R. Fernandez state the following:

If you are a California resident and are interested in joining to file an iPhone class action lawsuit against Apple Inc., you should contact the Law Office of Damian R. Fernandez immediately if any one of the following categories applies to you:

1. You own an iPhone and you want to transfer to a wireless carrier other than AT&T. You fall into this category even if you did not unlock your iPhone or have your iPhone disabled by an iPhone update.
   
2. Your iPhone was disabled, malfunctioned, or you had third-party applications erased after you downloaded iPhone update 1.1.1.
   
3. You contacted Apple to repair your iPhone and Apple refused to honor your warranty because you did any one the following: (1) unlocked your iPhone, or (2) installed a third party application.
   
4. You incurred a cancellation fee from your previous wireless carrier when you transferred to AT&T’s wireless service.
   
5. You incurred roaming charges while travelling abroad with your iPhone.
   
6. You purchased a third-party warranty at extra cost for your iPhone because of Apple’s released statement that it will not honor warranties on unlocked iPhones.
   

I know someone who owns a iPhone and who falls into one of the categories above. This person has suffered mental anguish which has caused me pain and suffer knowing that they are suffering. Can I sue also?

You knew this was going to happen.
