Nokia Ovi crash results in three weeks of lost user data
Filed under: Software, Nokia, Symbian
There’s definite risks to hosting all your personal data in the cloud, and users of Nokia’s Contacts on Ovi service just got a taste of the dark side: a database crash yesterday erased all data entered since January 23rd, when the service superceded Nokia Chat. That means contacts and images simply disappeared from people’s phones overnight with no recourse, which should give pause to all of us relying on third parties to manage and maintain our data. On the other hand, Ovi users now get to relive the past few weeks all over again, so maybe there’s a silver lining in there for someone after all.
