SIDEKICK CONDITION AND DEPENDENCY RECORD
Purpose: Document a surviving Sidekick II without promising service or recovery.
Use only for a device and data you are authorized to inspect. Keep serial numbers and personal information private. Do not reset or deliberately drain a device to retrieve data; the historic Danger service recovery promise depended on a service retired after May 31, 2011.

Date / purpose: design record / local demonstration / personal-data preservation
Exact model / visible software version:
Exterior and starting-screen photographs stored privately at:
Starting state: registration / locked / accessible menu / other
Existing condition observations (no disassembly required):

OBSERVATIONS (repeat per function)

Local data visible / counts or examples (private):
Capture method: photograph / transcription / documented export / none
Capture location / compared with original:

INTERPRETATION
A menu opening, a network icon and delivered messages are different observations. Ordinary USB export, new activation and server recovery are not established by this record. The 2011 transition announcement covered multiple Sidekick models; memory-card export references are not automatically Sidekick II instructions. Stop at unexplained registration or lock screens rather than changing the device to make a demonstration.
