That Microsoft / T-Mobile tag team has been doing a pretty decent job of cleaning up the disaster area left by the Sidekick data loss, and now the first item on the recovery menu is ready for collection. Sidekick users can hit up the My T-Mobile webpage to download their contacts and then restore them either to their Sidekick or whatever device they’ve replaced it with. Extensive how-to instructions are available at the read link, which also furnishes us with the reassurance that “Microsoft/Danger continues its efforts to recover pictures, calendar entries and to-do lists, which may be available in the future.”
[Thanks, Abe G.]
