the best and easiest way for me was to do it thru microsoft windows. all you really need is a hotmail email account. just go to programs>windows live. sign in and one of the options is that it will ask to snyc all of your contacts. so it will back up your contacts for you. since i just switched from the touch to the diamond all i had to do to get my contacts back was to sign into windows live and all of my contacts were on my new phone in a min or so (less).
