Good news for T-Mobile Sidekick customers. Microsoft today stated that its data recovery and validation phases are completed for some of the lost Sidekick server data. That puts Sidekick users in the warm, liquid goo phase and ready to prep their devices for data reanimation. Actually, it’s not as scientific as that — on the My T-Mobile web site folks will find a data recovery tool to restore lost contacts.
“This tool will enable you to view the contacts you had on your device as of October 1. With a few clicks and a confirmation, you will be able to restore these contacts to your Sidekick. If you have recreated some of the same contacts on your Sidekick since October 1, you can choose to keep both sets of contacts, merge them, or just keep the set of contacts now on your device. You may also edit any partial or complete duplicates on your Sidekick after restoration.”
Microsoft is “making solid progress” on recovering lost pics, notes, to-do lists, marketplace data, and high scores from backup archives. It sounds like this is a six-round battle that’s only just beginning, but it’s a promising first step.
