Which carrier are you on? Most of the big names have a backup/restore built in. Verizon has the Cloud. Let those be lessoned learned: always be aware of your backup strategy. Some phones have their own backup software. i.e., Samsung Smart Switch, LG's Backup both allow a backup to an SD card. Also, if you use app for taking notes, does that backup?

PS...unless your have previously gone into your contact app and did an 'export' to your phone, there is no file you can retrieve by connecting your phone (which, in order to connect, prior settings had to be on). Most files stored use a SQL like database, not a file format that is created when your export your contacts (contacts.vcf usually). VCF files can be imported easily to other services like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN/ Hotmail/Outlook etc.
