Contacts help

Well basically, my handset is faulty so am going to take it and get it exchanged tomorrow as it is within 28 days. Is there any way of keeping my contacts without having to input them all again?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question....

Dave

Re: Contacts help

use windows contacts to back up them when u sync and if you get a new handset a full restore to that should do the job nicley for you !!!

Re: Contacts help

surely just backing up in iTunes would do the job? I've had 2 replacement iPhones and each time i've just restored from a back up and all my contacts etc from my old phone appear on the new one. Simple.
