Microsoft Releases T-Mobile Sidekick Recovery Tool
After more than a week and a half of confusion related to the T-Mobile Sidekick data loss, Microsoft released a new recovery tool that allows them to get information back.
The Microsoft subsidiary Danger, which hosts Sidekick's service, had a power outage that caused an unknown number of Sidekick owners to lose text messages, photos, contacts, and other information on the phone. The exact issue leading to the data loss is unknown, but is expected to be related to a Danger server going down at some point.
Due to the hiccup, Microsoft said it has made changes to the service stability and backup process related to the servers.
