Massive Danger Outage For Sidekick Users

(Mis)Uses of Technology

As if the Paris Hilton hacking wasn’t enough of a problem, users of the T-Mobile Sidekick (including myself) are now dealing with a massive service outage leaving us pretty much disconnected. I’ve been unable to use my Sidekick since yesterday morning at around 10am. T-Mobile and Danger are barely talking. However, to have downtime lasting into multiple days can’t be good for the reputation of the device. Of course, we thought the Paris Hilton hacking would be bad news as well, and apparently we were completely wrong on that one. Though, this story has nothing to do with Ms. Hilton, so perhaps it won’t lead to another rush on T-Mobile stores.
