Update #42 June 13th, 12:00 p.m. eastern Ok..A lot of you have still been asking about my friend..the one who lost the phone. She has now given me permission to talk about her. The reason WHY she hasn't been available is, she is getting married this weekend. This is a once in a lifetime event for her. So you can understand why she has not been around. Now to add to the chaos surrounding her wedding plans, she had used that Sidekick to send email to the consulates in Russia where her only sister was trying to get a visa to come to the wedding (she has been denied twice for no reason). The reason she was frantic to get the Sidekick back was to view the emails and email addresses that was her correspondence with the US and Russian consulates (my friend herself is an American citizen). When she lost the Sidekick, she lost all that. Now I know that you can view the emails online, but that's only if you register with T-Mobile online for that. And you can only register it, when they send an email to your phone. That was one of the reasons why she immediately offered a reward for the phone..and why we were so upset when Sasha ignored the emails and hundreds of calls while forwarding at that same time all my friends picture's and other mails off the phone. Because of this girl's failure to return the phone, my friend's sister was DENIED a visa to come to the wedding (she was supposed to be the maid of honor). Yes, my friend did lose the phone... But I believe if anyone else had found the phone before Sasha, my friend would have gotten it back within hours. Now that her sister won't be there, the only family my friend will have in the wedding party will be her mother (her father passed a few years back).
If you want to help my friend with getting her sister to get a visa, please call and email American embassy in Yekaterinburg, Russia

I hope this does not distract from the story. I just want to show people the consequences of Sasha's actions. And why I am so upset at her. I was asked before not to talk about my friend's private day, but after hearing her cry day in and day out about this, I convinced her that her story must be told.
