I've used activesync to back up the phone before.. but last night, I plugged it in, it started charging, and the dialog box (not activesync) popped up that allows you to choose what you want to do (ex - picture and fax viewer, take no action, etc), so the computer is recognizing a usb device, but activesync isnt seeing the phone for some reason.. any idea why?

If I could just get my contacts, that would suffice..

Thanks Again!
Yet another reason to use Google Sync

I bet it's using your phone as a mass storage device. I'm not sure if the stock ROMs do this (they probably do) but when I plug my phone in, it gives three options - ActiveSync, Storage Device or Internet Sharing. It'll default to the last one you used if you don't choose anything... So try to tap near the top of the screen right after you plug the device in. That's my best guess for what's going on.
