Ballmer said, “It is not clear there was data loss'.

The class action lawsuit was settled in 2011, with affected users compensated with a '$35 T-Mobile gift card, a $17.50 check payment, or up to 12 free downloadable items.'

T-Mobile and Microsoft promised to safeguard the most important data their customers possess and then apparently failed to follow even the most basic data protection principles. On October 14, 2009, a class action lawsuit was launched against Microsoft and T-mobile.

The incident caused a public loss of confidence in the concept of cloud computing, which had been plagued by a series of outages and data losses in 2009. Īccording 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.' 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.' T-Mobile blamed Microsoft for the loss of data. The outages lasted approximately two weeks, and on October 10, 2009, T-Mobile announced that personal information stored on Sidekick phones would be permanently lost, which turned out to be incorrect. On Friday, October 2, 2009, T-Mobile Sidekick phone users started noticing data service outages occurring. Microsoft took over the running of the data servers, and its data centers were hosting the customers' data at the time it was lost.

However, most of the ex-Danger employees soon left Microsoft to pursue other things. After the acquisition, the former Danger staff were then absorbed into the Mobile Communications Business (MCB) of the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft, where they worked on a future Microsoft mobile phone platform known as Project Pink. The Sidekick smartphones were originally produced by Danger, Inc., a company that was bought by Microsoft in February 2007. At the time, it was described as the biggest disaster in cloud computing history. The brand of phone affected was the Danger Hiptop, also known as the 'Sidekick', and were connected via the T-Mobile cellular network. The computer servers holding the data were run by Microsoft.
