Actually, there is news coming out this morning that might change that.

"Recent efforts indicate the prospects of recovering some lost content may now be possible," the two companies said. "We will continue to keep you updated on this front; we know how important this is to you."
The problem is now though that for 3-4 days they have been saying otherwise, and my understanding is T-Mo is letting sidekick users out of their contracts to get other devices. If this had happened to me, I'd already be on a new device. That means even if MS recovered my data, I'd only be able to access it on the web site. Better than nothing I guess, but still, lots of data to rekey on a new phone.

I hope MS does recover all of the data.
