The T-Mobile/Sidekick/Danger/Microsoft situation is starting to get really ugly…
T-Mobile’s now reporting that personal data stored on Sidekicks has “almost certainly has been lost as a result of a server failure at Microsoft/Danger.” They’re still looking for a way to recover it, but they’re not giving users a lot of hope — meanwhile, servers are still on the fritz and customers are being advised not to let their devices power down because anything that’s still on there will be lost the next time the device is turned on.
That’s insane. Wanna know something equally insane? If this were to happen on Palm’s servers, the Pre and Pixi would have the same exact problem.
Ponder that next time you get a phone that only syncs with the cloud.
