Yeah, but it is possible they will be able to get it back up once they figure how to do it. Expect more announcement from T-Mobile (and Danger Inc.) in the next couple of days.
Anyway, I was able to get my old addressbook back by going to my old Sidekick.  From a moderator at Powered By Danger, he posted this: Quote:

I still have all the information on my sidekick, I have never taken out the battery nor reset. I have powered down and back on once, it didn't give me any effects. I hope they are able to get all your information in place when they get it back to normal soon.

Sidekick failure rumors point fingers at outsourcing, lack of backups. You may get Blackberry, Windows Mobile devices, iPhone, etc....

Why do people keep pushing us to get blackberry or I Phone just because our sidekick was temporary out of service? It's not the end of the world. My sidekick had been restored and I have a credit on my account for free t-mobile service for the whole month of October. I have no complains.

Microsoft loses Sidekick user's personal data
I saw this article and thought about you all Sidekick users.
Posted on Oct 11, 2009 10:20 pm by Martyn Williams, IDG News Service Category |iPhone »Phones Contacts, calendar entries, photographs and other personal information of Sidekick users has almost certainly been lost for good following a service disruption at Sidekick provider Danger, the Microsoft subsidiary said on Saturday. The amount of data and number of users affected wasn't disclosed by Microsoft or T-Mobile, but the Sidekick support forums are buzzing with pleas from users looking for tips on how to restore their devices or get their data back. On Saturday, Microsoft said any data that users had on their devices and is no longer there has almost certainly been permanently lost. "That said, our teams continue to work around-the-clock in hopes of discovering some way to recover this information. However, the likelihood of a successful outcome is extremely low," T-Mobile said in a statement. The problems have been going on since earlier this week and have been compounded by users who attempted to reset their devices to restore functionality. The reset clears the Sidekick of stored data -- data which is usually backed to the Danger servers but has now been lost from there. "We continue to advise customers to NOT reset their device by removing the battery or letting their battery drain completely, as any personal content that currently resides on your device will be lost," T-Mobile said. T-Mobile and Microsoft said they would provide an update on data recovery efforts on Monday. The service failure is an embarrassment for Microsoft and T-Mobile and again highlights the potential danger of entrusting trusting personal data to the cloud, a model that many service providers are pushing as a safe and more convenient way to handle data.

T-Mobile says:
NEW YORK - Owners of Sidekick phones, made by a Microsoft subsidiary and sold by T-Mobile USA, may have lost all the personal data they stored on the phone, including contact numbers. The companies say the data is "almost certainly" gone after a failure of servers operated by Microsoft wiped out the data. The companies said they hoped to update customers on recovery efforts Monday. The phones have been troubled by data outages for more than a week. Some users attempted to restart their phones by removing the battery, which erases data on the device. Normally, the data is then restored from servers, but with the server data gone, the device is left empty. Because of that, customers are being advised not to let the battery completely run down either. Sidekick contacts, data gone, T-Mobile says by AP: Yahoo! Tech

Everything on my Sidekick 3 is still intact. Everyone (that I know with a Sidekick around here) lost everything because they removed the battery or did a hard reset on their Sidekicks.
