If it your iPhone still comes up as a device in iTunes you can back up your contacts there. When you plug it in click on it, then click the info tab, from there you should see an area called contacts. There will be a drop down list of options; MS Exchange, Gmail and there may be few others. Sync your contacts through one of those and you can then do a full restore. But remember to double check that your contacts have been backed up.

Once you have restored your iPhone sync your contacts from the service you used back to your iPhone.

Hope that was what you where looking for.

Good Luck!
