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:
“There’s nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn’t abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“Sometimes we see a cloud that’s dragonish,
A vapor sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory
With trees upon ‘t that nod unto the world
And mock our eyes with air. Thou hast seen these signs;
They are black vesper’s pageants.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
