Danger Cloud Service Discontinuation
On February 28, 2011 tech blog Engadget reported Microsoft will discontinue Danger's cloud service on May 31, 2011. After that date, Sidekicks will no longer have access to any data services, though voice service will still function.
In Australia, the Telstra hiptop service was continued to be offered for existing customers after May 31, 2011 when the T-Mobile USA Sidekick service was shut down. However, it was announced that the hiptop service for Telstra customers would be discontinued on October 4, 2011. Selected affected customers will receive a free Samsung Galaxy 551 to replace their hiptop devices.
Since the Telstra Hiptop service was discontinued in October 4, 2011, there are no longer any carriers worldwide offering any form of Danger data service.

Famous quotes containing the words danger, cloud and/or service:
“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead—
There were no birds to fly.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
