After initially appearing unsure, Microsoft told Sidekick users today that it has recovered all of data lost when its Sidekick database and back-up systems crashed last Saturday.
In an open letter to customers, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Roz Ho said that she believes only a minority of Sidekick users are still impacted.
This afternoon on Twitter — a site that is itself — some Sidekick users confirmed that data is coming back. Largely, they seemed to be taking their temporary lumps in stride, sometimes with a dose of humor.
"omg...Yes!!...my sidekick Web is back workin...," Twittered a user named thefreshestkid.
"Good news: my 11 year old niece just got her lost Sidekick data back. Bad news: Roman Polanski's name is in here contacts list," wrote brandonweir.
