If your phone is still recognized by iTunes when connected via USB, then you might have a chance with "iPhone Explorer". Just download this software if you are on a Mac and see if it recognizes the phone. If it does you'll be able to navigate through your phone and save your contacts, pics, or whatever other data u need from the phone to your Mac. There is similar software for Windows, but you would have to google for that and find the equivalent.

It's a good program and it is available for Windows as well from here http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer... My question would just be; what is broke and why can you not fix it at least to the point that your computer can access it for your contacts.

Yeah, the PO is a little vague on the "broken" department. If it can be recognized through USB, then he has a good chance, if the phone got ran over by a truch, that changes things. LOL

Unless you can manage to fix the phone, there is no way to recover your contacts. If you can get the phone to show up in iTunes, you can back up it's data, but if the phone is dead, there is no way to get any data off of it.
