Jeff_T Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well done T-mo/Doze... I esp. like the comment, "This goes beyond FAIL, face-palm, or any of the other internet memes we’ve come to associate with incompetence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a person who had a sidekick today and they didn't know about it before they turned it off and lost everything they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Android phones are expected to take over iPhone im the next couple years by the way, which will give them even greater market share. I thiink carriers being good or bad generally depends where you live. In So. California T-Mobile is amazing. In 6 years I've had one call drop. One. And that was on a Bluetooth headset so I don't know if it was the service or the headset that dropped at that moment. Plus they have great rates. So I love it.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Verizon is also in the works with google of creating/releasing android based phones, so it's not just T-mo that will gain market share because of this... I could really care less about the Sidekick thing, if you're over 18 get a real phone, not just a toy. I'll stick with my trusty blackberry on America's #1 network, Verizon.

Its also the most affordable around, at least where I am.I have one of the Android phones (MyTouch3G) and I get 3G coverage in quite a few places, although their coverage map is way out of date (the coverage I get is way better than the online map indicates, so not sure when that was last updated).really sucks about the folks with sidekicks; makes one wonder about the "cloud-based" computing some phones are aimed at. The servers that failed are actually at MicroSoft, "Danger" if you will....so if MicroSoft can dump the Danger servers they run for T-Mobile, how many of us have MSN, hotmail, Live, etc. online email accounts and calenders, etc....? Got Windows mobile? same company runs the servers.Been thinking about picking up a Palm Pre for the wife, but it does a lot of its work in the ether as well....Wonder how they're going to safeguard against this.T-mobile backs up the android phones for free...so if mine ever crashes, I can get another one, backfill it, and it will retain all my info.too bad Sidekick/MicroSoft didn't have the same ideaJohn P.

Barnaby Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Wow.. just wow.. If they really were performing a SAN upgrade, without running a backup first, they are fools. Running a cloud environment to handle user data, they should have multiple redundant storage arrays, while getting backed up to tape at the very least. Its inexcusable for something like this to happen, if they engineered it right, which by the sound of it they did not.. -10 internets to you tmobile.
