Sidekick users tend to be an active, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants bunch, so it’s gotta hurt like the dickens when they don’t have access to their schedules and little black books — but hey, at least it’s still recoverable, right? Microsoft has just posted a quick update to keep everyone abreast on the progress of its Sidekick data recovery, and it sounds like they’ll be able to have remaining missing contacts back in action this week with the rest of the data — to-dos, notes, photos, and the like — following on “shortly thereafter.” Anyone who didn’t lose information in the debacle should be unaffected by the recovery process, but for those who did, these backup tapes couldn’t possibly load into Danger’s feisty data center fast enough.
