Microsoft recovers ‘most, if not all’ Sidekick customer data

Steve Ballmer must have busted out his secret stash of magic dust, as Microsoft has just come out with the announcement that it has recovered “most, if not all, customer data” that was lost during the recent Sidekick debacle . Following the wildly embarassing fiasco attributed to a “system failure that created data loss in the core database and the back-up,” T-Mobile and Redmond have “rebuilt the system component by component” and now promise to restore data to affected users in the most expedient fashion possible. Guess that means you won’t be getting $100 from T-Mobile for losing your Tetris high scores after all.
