Danger inadvertantly cuts off Sidekick data
That whole Paris Hilton business put the hurt on them,
but apparently Danger has inadvertantly discovered the perfect way to keep your sensitive info from being swiped from your Sidekick: simply disconnect the phone's data connection altogether (because you can't steal what you can't sync, right?). Network problems have plagued some
(but not all) Sidekick and Sidekick 2 users over the past few days, with plenty of them complaining about not being able to access the Internet or do instant messaging or email from their handset. Danger, which runs the servers for T-Mobile, still doesn't know exactly what's causing the outages, but the prevailing theory is that it has something to do with two recent patches which were issued in the past month.
