There's an app for that - Just seen it advertised on TV, can't remember the name though!

Couldn't you just sync the contacts with iTunes?

do you know much about paypal mate i have someone that is interested in my iphone 3gs uk one that says if he pays by palpay gift i will not get charged for it have you heard off it before, cause i dont want to get scamed on here when i sell it, also how long does it take for it to clear in my paypal do you know

would you do it all just hold out for good old cash lol

Paypal gift generally doesn't have any fees associated with it, however you will not have the level of protection should anything go wrong as opposed to selling through eBay.

If you are trading with someone off here with good feedback then you should be OK, but as always, selling online does have its risks.

You could specify collection only and payment in cash, or you could offer to deliver it locally yourself, but that will probably mean it will take longer to sell as only locals can buy it

As you have 0 iTrader on here, you will more than likely be asked to post the phone first before receiving payment.

If you need any more help PM me, as this has gone pretty off-topic

I know you've sorted this... but thought I'd add my 2p to the conversation, as there are a few things you can do to make life easier here..

You can Sync your contacts to your PC via iTunes. You need Outlook installed or Vista with Windows Contacts and Mail. With the phone connected, you can chose where to Sync this information to via the information tab (from memory, correct me if I'm wrong). This will then keep a copy on your PC and you can repeat the process in reverse with a new iPhone or any other phone that can sync with Outlook etc.

Another option is to use one of the various online 'Cloud' services. My three recommendations are MobileMe from Apple, Google Mobile Sync and ZYB.com. All three allow you to Sync over the air (OTA) and have a backup of your contacts and calendar online.

MobileMe is setup from within the phone with presets already stored to make it easy to configure. This allows Push email and synchronising. This is a subscription service so there is an ongoing cost associated, but there is also numerous other items in the bundle such as photo hosting, web storage space and an awesome feature that lets you make your phone beep if you're lost it. But you can only lose it within ear shot....
There is a free trial of MobileMe available to try before you buy.

Google Mobile Sync is free and syncs your calendar and contacts to your Googlemail/Gmail account. Fantastic if you use this service anyway. It uses Microsoft Active Sync to connect and sync and also supports Push for contacts and calendar only.
Googlemail is setup as a separate profile.

ZYB.com has been around for a while and is growing to become a social networking site, but my only interest is it's free online Contacts and Calendar Sync. Once you have created an account on the ZYB website, you download the free App from the App Store, sign into it and Sync.

There are numerous other options around I've no doubt, but I can only speak of what I know.

I personally use Google and ZYB.com - Google because I use Googlemail and Calendars. ZYB.com because it supports the vast majority of mobile handsets around, so I can easily get my contacts and calendar back on any other handset should I lose it or change phones.

So my advice is even if you have sorted your problem now, sign up to one of these services and get into the habit of synchronising your content, so you always have an online backup.

cheers mate will know for next time now

May I also add my comments to what Rob has already said.

Not only can you use MobileMe to make your iPhone beep if you lose it, you can also do the following:

1. Display a Message or Play a Sound
You can write a message that will be displayed on your iPhone or you can tell MobileMe to play a sound that overrides the silent setting on your phone.

2. Remote Passcode Lock
Lock your iPhone using a four-digit passcode - this will override any passcode already setup on the iPhone

3. Remote Wipe
If you lose your iPhone and displaying a message on it hasn't resulted in its safe return, you can initiate a remote wipe to restore it to the factory settings, and protect your privacy.

Finally, if considering buying the MobileMe product then take a look at eBay where you can buy at a significantly reduced price from a US seller who will then send your product code via email.
