Microsoft says it can restore Sidekick data

"There may be a happy ending after all for owners of Sidekick phones who thought they might have permanently lost contact numbers and other personal information they had put on the gadget.

Earlier this week, T-Mobile said information stored by many Sidekick owners was 'almost certainly' gone for good following a failure of the computers that remotely stored the data.

But Microsoft Corp., whose Danger Inc. subsidiary makes the phones that are sold through T-Mobile USA, said Thursday it recovered 'most, if not all' of the missing data and will restore it as soon as it validates the information. Microsoft also apologized for the glitch."
