Rumours about Microsoft’s mobile plan are evolving, weirdly! Today, we’ve got duelling speculation: from Twitter, evidence of new “Danger” hardware; from Microsoft, mention of “the next generation of Windows Phone”. It’s mystery meat, this stuff, but at least it’s juicy.
Last week it seemed the Danger/Microsoft team was on the verge of sorting out the fiasco that saw widespread data loss for Sidekick customers. Unfortunately, completing this process is taking longer than expected:
BTW, a sidekick user has started a class action lawsuit against T-mobile over Microsoft/Danger’s loss of all Hiptop personal data. I wonder what will happen now that Microsoft is promising most if not all data will be restored. [Inquirer]
T-Mobile sent out an update regarding the first great tragedy of the 21st century (involving Sidekicks): They’re still holding out hope for data recovery, but if they can’t, they’ll show how sorry they are with a $US100 credit.
