*fyi* East Africa: Firm Claims Solution to Phone Data Loss http://allafrica.com/stories/201207310841.html Nairobi — Mobile phone users are now able to retrieve any lost data from their devices thanks to new technology developed by East African Data Handlers that is capable of recovering information from all phones used in the region. East African Data Handlers Managing Director George Njoroge said they spent Sh10 million over the past two years to develop the program designed to recover lost data due to system failures, formatting, power surges, accidentally deleted files, corrupted data and viruses. For Android devices, they can recover data such as SMS, MMS, email, passwords, browser bookmarks, cookies, contacts, user dictionary, call logs, Google Talk, Facebook contacts, Bluetooth pairings, memos and location cache. He noted that they are the first company in the world to be able to recover lost data from Blackberry devices.
