The Danger Hiptop also re-branded as the T-Mobile Sidekick and Mobiflip is a GPRS-EDGE-UMTS smartphone produced by Danger Incorporated (since 2008 a subsidiary of Microsoft) from 2002 to 2010. On October 2 2009 Microsoft suffered an outage which resulted in prolonged unavailability of data for US T-Mobile Sidekick users along with shorter periods of no data access for Telstra and T-Mobile UK users. This resulted in T-Mobile USA suspending the sale of Sidekicks until November 16 2009.
