Tech: Microsoft and T-Mobile recover most users’ Sidekick data. Hooray!

  • They didn’t save everyone’s data, though. The public backlash created by Microsoft’s mishandling of Sidekick data is a least a little softer after the company announced that they saved most users data. T-Mobile has been getting the brunt of the attacks even though it largely isn’t their fault. Either way, this mess isn’t looking good for the company, which wants to be on the same page as Apple in the mobile sphere. source

Tech: T-Mobile’s massive bag of FAIL: Sidekick user data is GONE.

  • fail #1 T-Mobile’s Sidekick data network was down all last weekend into this week. That issue still isn’t resolved as we write this. Twitter users spent much of the last week (loudly) grumbling about this fact, killing T-Mobile’s rep online.
  • fail #2 Now, a much worse issue: Everyone who owned a Sidekick? Your user data is GONE. Kaput. Microsoft Danger relied on cloud hosting to serve data, and didn’t back up any of it. And the cloud went poof. Ouch. Bad move. source
