Would consumers of the iPhone have a possible class action lawsuit against Apple?

If one takes a little trip over to the apple iphone 3g forums you will see 2 topics at the top titled, "No wifi after upgrade to 3.1.3", and "Strange WiFi problem on iPhone 3G after 3.0 update" which are growing daily. Basically, upon updating to the latest 3.1.3 firmware many users are unable to connect to WiFi networks. Keep in mind many people are out of their warranties and Apple, who has yet to even acknowledge the issue, has the "tough shit" attitude. What appears to be even worse is that man people, including myself have tried restoring and reverting back to a previous firmware version but the wifi still wont work. It seems that the 3.1.3 firmware did not just temporarily cripple the WiFi, but has in fact permanently damaged the chip within the iPhone. SOOO, if Apple doesn't step up, and it is confirmed that 3.1.3 has indeed broken thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of iPhones, would there be a strong case against them?
