UPDATE: Microsoft Says It Has Recovered Lost Sidekick Data
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20091015-710685.html
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) said early Thursday that it has
been able to recover the personal data lost on many of T-Mobile USA's
Sidekick users.
Many...that sounds like government math.
It would be interesting to see what 'many' means in this context.

Well, it's great that the data is being recovered, and likely will be mostly /
entirely recovered, but it's been gone for about two weeks now, and is being
recovered progressively. A two-week plus interruption in service is not a very
good recommendation for the cloud.

There's always a conspiracy theorist. MS probably can't produce its

While not taking any blame from MS, this was outsourced to a third party who
did the deed. I'm thinking Google doesn't outsource it's could based stuff

T-Mobile Sidekick Data Lost Forever

subsidiary and sold by T-Mobile USA, may

With considerable effort, two easy-to-use online archives were set up for
the List. Should we have not bothered? What is your aversion to using the
archive?

I just got a notice from T-Mobile. They raised their fees for SMS/text
to 20 cents incoming/outgoing. That's outrageous! Is this a reaction to
a US market that doesn't complain when prices are raised for no reason?
Or is this to counter the European Union's actions to reduce
People aren't happy about AT$T's new pricing either. Text is practically
free to send but because of it's increasing use, I think the telcos are
raking in some extra cash. I've been fairly lucky as I have tmobile, but I
got in under the unlimited text for 10 bux a month. I have no data plan
store.

In the US and Canada Cell phone coverage is at best a regional
thing. As I remember it, Cell phone areas at first were sold off to
regional carriers, and so as they have merged they have kept pretty
much to regional type coverage.
Plus many of the domestic cell phone companies are legacies

Verizon does this with their pre-paid service. The coverage is not
nearly as good as their conventual coverage.
