Danger! Danger! It's a product from Danger!
Microsoft glitch results in Sidekick mobile data losses
SOURCE SOURCE
October 12, 2009
Microsoft warns T-Mobile USA Sidekick users that a tech snafu has likely resulted in permanent loss of contacts, pics and other personal data. Sidekick users have had connectivity issues for more than a week. The operator's website warns that Sidekick personal content not stored locally on the subscriber's device has "almost certainly" been lost due to server malfunction.
According to T-Mobile USA and Microsoft, Sidekick customers who reset their device by removing its battery or allowing it to drain fully are most at risk of losing their personal data. This on the heels of other stories in the last couple of years regarding user's data being hacked on the network should certainly give owners of this device reason for concern.
Ben's comment - Another reason not to own a Sidekick! The irony iof the device being manufactured by a company named Danger should be apparent to everyone.

Yeah, and lots of people with Sidekicks got screwed by Microsoft today.
Which, come to think of it, isn't weird. It should be expected.
