Microsoft Posts Sidekick Recovery Tool
Sidekick users who have been angry at T-Mobile and Microsoft’s Danger for losing their personal data have received a little solace: Microsoft is now offering a recovery tool on T-Mobile’s Web site to help owners of the mobile device retrieve their lost contacts.
This tool will restore contacts only, but Microsoft said in a statement that it is working on retrieving photos, notes, and other data as well.
The Sidekick data-loss saga started the first weekend of this month, when Danger had a massive server outage, and Sidekick users–whose data was in the cloud–lost all of their personal information. T-Mobile USA and Microsoft have slowly become more optimistic about data recovery since thenh, but the PR damage is already done.
Afflicted users can launch the contacts recovery tool by visiting the My T-Mobile Web site.
