My Sidekick was on a pre-paid plan. I don’t think I have to explain what a nightmare I went through, everyone else here’s been through the same thing. I did the data-restore, and I got about 90% of my contacts back, and none of the rest of my lost data. After spending a few combined hours of my life on the phone with t-mobile, they’ve credited my account a whopping $8. And then proceeded to explain to me that it’s not their fault, it’s Microsofts. Well, guess who decided on having Microsoft’s system on their phone? YOU T-Mobile! I have since sworn T-Mobile off for the rest of my life. I have an iPhone now, and it is AMAZING! As is AT&T, the company I never should’ve left in the first place.

It’s not good to look at roughlydrafted for articles. Everyone knows that Daniel is the largest Apple fanboy the world has ever seen and he never ever says anything positive about Microsoft.

‘Management Failure’ ???

Say it ain’t so, Roz….

I guess she’ll be moved to some other high profile project next, undoubtedly to screw that up too.

Yup, blanks where numbers go, addresses, emails… these contacts are great but woefully incomplete. But I’m sure that because we got them, and cannot prove they’re incomplete, that flushes the $100 down the tubes. GG Microsoft.

And the contact file are still missing some of my numbers, it has the names but no numbers. What the hell? I’m missing 23 numbers. Anybody else have blanks where numbers are supposed to be?

I didn’t know about the downloading your contacts and **** on the tmo site either, way to inform your effected users. Okay, so they have our contacts. If they don’t get the rest of our stuff back, do we still get the $100. Either way, I still am switching phones. I’ll be sad to do it, but it needs to be done.

I Never got a text saying to login to retrieve my contacts. Glad I saw the comments on here. Signed on and got my contacts back. Saved all of them to my simcard. Wish you could organize contacts on your simcard like you can on your phone. I have people with the same name that I differentiate by nicknames in my address book. If I lose my contacts again I wont know which is which.

Lets hope they figure out a way to restore, notes, dates, pictures, AND picture messages that I never saved to my phone because they had text that I’d lose if I just saved the pic.

And how about a SAVE FOLDER in pic messages/text messages SO WE CAN SAVE OUT OWN DATA.
