The latest development in the T-Mobile Sidekick server crash saga should give burned Sidekick users a little pick-me-up. TechCrunch is reporting on a fresh (unconfirmed) rumor from inside Microsoft that all lost Sidekick data might not be as lost as once thought. According to a Microsoft insider, engineers in the Danger division (which is responsible for the Sidekick backend) are incubating hopes of recovering all the lost data. If the rumor pans out, and Danger engineers can pull it off, T-Mobile will be able to triumphantly tell it’s Sidekick customers that their little Sidekick “snafu” has been completely fixed!
The rumor is totally unconfirmed at this point. But, remember, T-Mobile recently announced that they might be able to restore data to a portion of its Sidekick fleet. In fact, some users have been seeing data coming back online. That has to mean Danger has been making some headway since they initially announced that all Sidekick data was “almost certainly” completely lost in the server crash.
For the sake of Sidekickers with major data loss, we hope this rumor has legs.
