Some people are reporting that their contacts, notes, etc. are actually returning to their device after losing them. Just a handful of people reporting on T-Mobile's official forum right now:

I was just on my phone and when I got off my phone all my contacts returned. I do not know if this will last for long but the site of my contacts returning is encouraging.

The same thing happened to me...I shut my phone off several times without removing the battery...voile'! My contacts returned! :smileyhappy:

generalblue says:

Got my contacts back too! My phone froze up on me and since I have already lost everything anyways, I just took the battery out and put it back in. Once my phone was on about 5 minutes later I checked my address book for some reason and they were all there. I saved all my contacts to my simcard.

Anyone else out there have any luck?

Those are probably tmobile employees trying to keep people from jumping ship. Ill believe it when I see it

after what i heard and read on t-mobile customer service i believe you they have no idea how fucking deep they got with the sidekick users

I'll believe it when I see it! If you've already lost everything, I guess there's no harm in turning off your phone to see if the data comes back but... I don't see how in the hell that would help. If the data's not on the server, and it's certainly not on a phone that's been hard reset/battery yanked then it's not anywhere. And according to Tmo themselves, it's not on the server. So.... how does this achieve ANYTHING?

I think it was just luck and good timing for these folks, and good for them. But it's coincidence until I see some more conclusive evidence, nothing more.

Remember "moni" on the t-mo forums? With her positive energy and shit? What a load of crap.

I have yet to get any of my personal data back. I've had to rebuild my contact list, and are still struggling to do this. I've lost everthing in calendar and task application, along with my address book.

Just a quick FYI...that post is no longer accurate...since I originally posted, my phone has worked, not worked, re-booted by itself, lost e-mail, browser, contacts, text messages, etc...as of today my SK08 is a doorstop. Thankfully I was smart enough to put the contacts that had returned on my SIM card...

I'm slightly perturbed that this post of mine referenced above makes it seem like it's possible for everyone to get their contacts back...that post is on several websites and is giving people the false impression that all is well in my neck of the woods in terms of my Sidekick...it ain't so, and and in a few hours won't matter anyway...UPS is on their way with a new Blackberry...I'm jumping ship.

Hope you also backed them up, since SIM contacts save the name and like, one phone numner, that's it.

Yup...I backed 'em up

My dum ass lost my lx 09 four days ago and just got one back in the mail. When I reactivated my sim card and signed my username back in, everything was there except for my ringtones games and apps I bought plus the twitter, myspace, facebook and gps thing that supposed to have come with it. Then, an ota update popped up and I pressed yes and still nothing and its been 7 hours now. What the fuck man! Its like im pussy whipped.
