Si eres una de las personas que se oponen al “cloud computing”, aquí tienes un gran argumento a tu favor. La operadora estadounidense T-Mobile podría haber perdido casi toda la información personal de los teléfonos Sidekick “debido a una falla del servidor en Microsoft/Danger”.

No están claro los detalles del desastre, es decir, no entendemos si no existen respaldos, o por qué no hay redundancia en otros servidores, o hasta en otros discos duros. De todas maneras, han pedido encarecidamente a los usuarios que no permitan que sus dispositivos pierdan toda la electricidad, o la próxima vez que los inicien los datos podrían haber desaparecido.

Al mismo tiempo, T-Mobile ha dejado de vender absolutamente todos los modelos de Sidekick en su página, que aparecen como “agotados”. Te mantendremos informado si aparecen más noticias, mientras tanto, tememos que este día podría quedar marcado en la historia como el peor de la existencia de Danger, y uno de los peores para Microsoft.

T-MOBILE AND MICROSOFT/DANGER STATUS UPDATE ON SIDEKICK DATA DISRUPTION

Estimados clientes de T-Mobile Sidekick:

T-Mobile and the Sidekick data services provider, Danger, a subsidiary of Microsoft, are reaching out to express our apologies regarding the recent Sidekick data service disruption. We appreciate your patience as Microsoft/Danger continues to work on maintaining platform stability, and restoring all services for our Sidekick customers.

Regrettably, based on Microsoft/Danger’s latest recovery assessment of their systems, we must now inform you that personal information stored on your device – such as contacts, calendar entries, to-do lists or photos – that is no longer on your Sidekick almost certainly has been lost as a result of a server failure at Microsoft/Danger. That said, our teams continue to work around-the-clock in hopes of discovering some way to recover this information. However, the likelihood of a successful outcome is extremely low. As such, we wanted to share this news with you and offer some tips and suggestions to help you rebuild your personal content. You can find these tips at the T-Mobile Sidekick Forums (http://www.t-mobile.com/sidekick ). We encourage you to visit the Forums on a regular basis to access the latest updates as well as FAQs regarding this service disruption.

In addition, we plan to communicate with you on Monday (Oct. 12) the status of the remaining issues caused by the service disruption, including the data recovery efforts and the Download Catalog restoration which we are continuing to resolve. We also will communicate any additional tips or suggestions that may help in restoring your content.

We recognize the magnitude of this inconvenience. Our primary efforts have been focused on restoring our customers’ personal content. We also are considering additional measures for those of you who have lost your content to help reinforce how valuable you are as a T-Mobile customer.

We continue to advise customers to NOT reset their device by removing the battery or letting their battery drain completely, as any personal content that currently resides on your device will be lost.

Once again, T-Mobile and Microsoft/Danger regret any and all inconvenience this matter has caused.
