Not All is Lost on the Sidekick: Contacts Recouped

sidekick

T-Mobile Sidekick phones that lost the information stored on them now can at least get the contact lists back.

Phone numbers, photos and other personal data started disappearing from Sidekick phones a week and half ago, because of a breakdown of servers run by Microsoft Corp., which owns the Sidekick maker and runs its data services.

Now Microsoft has a partial save in this embarrassing mishap. It said Tuesday that Sidekick owners can use a recovery tool on T-Mobile’s Web site. The tool will only restore contacts, but Microsoft is working on also retrieving photos, notes, to-do lists, high scores in video games and other data.  Read more...

Microsoft Recovering Sidekick Data, Lawsuits Ensue

T-Mobile Sidekick

There’s no doubt that it’s been a bad couple weeks for T-Mobile Sidekick users, with Microsoft and T-Mobile announcing earlier this week, after days of spotty service, that personal data stored on the service had “almost certainly” been lost. But now there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel: Microsoft’s Roz Ho—formerly head of Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit and now corporate VP for Microsoft’s Premium Mobile Services division—says that Microsoft has recovered “most, if not all, customer data”. Microsoft says it is working with T-Mobile to restore user data as fast as it can, starting with personal contacts. After that, the restoration process will move on to calendars, notes, to-do items, photographs, and those all-important gaming high scores.  Read more...

T-Mobile Has “Almost Certainly” Lost Sidekick Users’ Data

In an event that highlights the downsides of so-called “cloud computing,” mobile operator T-Mobile has apparently lost all personal data stored by users of its popular Sidekick mobile communication devices. Sidekick service has been experiencing disruption for days, but, now, according to T-Mobile, Sidekick users can expect their calendar items, to-do lists, contacts, and photos are simply gone. No backup, and almost zero hope of recovery.

“[P]ersonal information stored on your device [..] that is no longer on your Sidekick almost certainly has been lost,” the company said in a statement. “That said, our teams continue to work around-the-clock in hopes of discovering some way to recover this information. However, the likelihood of a successful outcome is extremely low.”  Read more...

Smartphones Compared

With a new crop of ever-faster, ever-smaller, ever-better smartphones launching seemingly every month, there has never been a more enticing time to buy a smartphone.

We’ve all been there: Your best friend claims the iPhone is the only way to go, but your boss insists you need a BlackBerry, the engineer who lives next door claims you need to go with Google Android, your geeky dad still swears by Windows Mobile, and your coworkers are all trying to cajole you into the Palm Pre.  Read more...

Motorola Cliq Android Phone

Motorola CliqFall in the love with the look of a Motorola phone, learn to tolerate the software. That’s always been our approach to Motorola’s undoubtedly stylish but hard-to-live-with phones.
