Microsoft + T-Mobile = Screwed Sidekick Owners
Leave it to Microsoft to kick itself in the gonads just days before a huge product launch. This particular incident doesn’t even involve Windows or any Microsoft product, but a subsidiary that probably few people associate with Redmond.
Some background: As any T-Mobile Sidekick user will tell you, for the past week they’ve been unable to get their e-mail or other data because of an outage at Danger, the company that (allegedly) manages the Sidekick database. On Saturday T-Mobile admitted what no Sidekick user wanted to hear: Danger had lost the data.
