Users have to go to the My.T-Mobile web site for a recovery tool

Microsoft and Danger, obviously its most dangerous unit, were up at the crack of dawn Tuesday morning saying that they were ready to start restoring the Sidekick user data that Danger came ever so close to losing forever in the last couple of weeks. They sensibly started with personal contacts on the T-Mobile smartphones. They're insisting only a minority of customers were really affected. Users have to go to the My.T-Mobile web site for a recovery tool that will let them see the contacts they had as of October 1 and restore them. Microsoft said users who re-created some of same contacts during the outage can keep both lists or edit duplicates. Microsoft and the Dangerous team are supposed to be working 24x7 on getting photographs, notes, to-do lists, marketplace data and high scores back. The adventure has given the concept of cloud computing another black eye. Reader Feedback: Page 1 of 1
