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

Biz, Tech: T-Mobile’s parent might buy Sprint. B … but … the unlimited plan!

  • The Now Network might be a thing of the past. Sprint’s shares surged this morning on word that Deutsche Telekom AG was looking into buying the third-largest wireless company. Now, T-Mobile isn’t a bad company, so it’s not like, we don’t know, AT&T buying them, but Sprint JUST announced this killer unlimited plan. We could see it going away under T-Mobile. source

Tech: T-Mobile: We’ll support your iPhone even if we don’t sell it

  • All in all, this cements my loyalty to T-Mobile. Even without officially supporting a particular phone, they are willing to make accommodations to ensure the iPhone users on their network continue to enjoy good service.
  • Consumerist reader “John” • On his positive experience with the wireless provider after his unlocked, jailbroken iPhone went wonky due to a problem on T-Mobile’s end. The company offered service credits to affected customers and a rep even went so far as to post on Apple hacking forum about the problem. Well, that’s just awesome. • source
