I suggest that you use a backup app like sprite backup to backup those things. You can get apps like that with a google search or I believe it is in the Htc Touch FAQ Thread under commonly used programs. Another option is, you could do a search using File Explorer and try to find where your contacts are stored and just copy and paste that folder to your storage card. The same goes for anything else like photos,videos, music and other things you want to save.Good Luck !
