A Sidekick outage that apparently started on Friday and has left many with no access to the web and/or their own address books continues. The problem doesn’t seem to coming from T-Mobile but rather Microsoft and its recent acquisition: Danger, the Sidekick manufacturer.
“We are working around-the-clock to get all our services back online and will continue to post status updates to our valued customers as issues are resolved,” Microsoft said.
“Our goal is to have all services restored to 100 percent functionality by Thursday; however there may be some exceptions” Fortunately, I stopped using my Sidekick 3 a while ago.
As of 6 AM PDT on Tuesday [today], Microsoft said it had restored “critical applications including address book and calendar, social media applications, IM, web browsing, media player and camera.” T-Mobile released an apology a few hours ago.
They went on to say that users affected by the interruption will be credit one month’s service.
