Thanks.
Good thing about Android is your contacts are tied to your google account, so they automatically get synced when you flash another ROM or do a hard reset. If you don't utilize storing your contacts on your google account, you can simply export them to your microSD card via the contacts (people) app. as for sms and mms, there are free apps in the market, one called "sms backup" (it won't back up MMS) that will do just that. However, be sure to get the right backup program, because one of them syncs your sms messages to your gmail account and the other backs up as a file on your microSD card. You'll want the one that stores the backup on your card. Also there is an mms backup app on the market as well.
