pram posted:remember how microsoft hosed literally every single adopter of all their phones, ever. from windows mobile, to kin, to winpho 7, 8, and then 10. all of them. totally hosed up the rear end with zero shame lol sidekick too quote:According to the Financial Times, Microsoft said the data center it acquired from Danger 18 months previously had not been "updated to run on Microsoft technology."[1] A company statement said the mishap was due to "a confluence of errors from a server failure that hurt its main and backup databases supporting Sidekick users."[2] T-Mobile blamed Microsoft for the loss of data.[1] lol
