T-Mobile Sidekick: May still be hope
T-Mobile, says there’s still a chance that some affected Sidekick owners might be getting a little good news in the next few days.
There may still be a way to retrieve all of their personal information that disappeared from the giant Sidekick computing “cloud”.
In a late night press release, T-Mobile says they “…and Microsoft/Danger continue to do all we can to recover and return any lost information. Recent efforts indicate the prospects of recovering some lost content may now be possible. We will continue to keep you updated on this front; we know how important this is to you.”
And now, the number four cellular provider has an offer for those affected:
“In the event certain customers have experienced a significant and permanent loss of personal content, T-Mobile will be sending these customers a $100 customer appreciation card. This will be in addition to the free month of data service that already went to Sidekick data customers.
This card can be used towards T-Mobile products and services, or a customer’s T-Mobile bill. For those who fall into this category, details will be sent out in the next 14 days – there is no action needed on the part of these customers. We however remain hopeful that for the majority of our customers, personal content can be recovered.”
They recommend that Sidekick owners Sidekick continue to visit T-Mobile Sidekick Forums on a regular basis to access the latest updates, as well as FAQs regarding this service disruption.
T-Mobile Forums are said to offer tips and suggestions for rebuilding content on Sidekick devices.
