Do you back up with Microsoft MyPhone? If so, you can go online to myphone.microsoft.com and restore them all back to your phone.

Good news is, everything on your Desktop should be fine, bad news is unless you got them backed up some other way that you can restore them, your stuck till you get home to your desktop.

that's what i thought..
since all my txt were still on my phone, i saved the mumbers as "NameTemp".. so is there a way to have both computers equally sync with my phone?
and how can i see the partnerships on my phone it self?

thank you.

Honestly the best thing that I would recommend is if you are not using a work Exchange setup is to get your self setup with Gmail and use Google Sync. Move all your contact's into a Gmail account and you have your own exchange setup so when things like this happen all you have to do is re setup active sync on your phone and in a few minutes you have all your contacts back.

I have not used Active Sync on the desktop for along long time, it always caused issues for me in the past, double contacts triple calender appointments and all that.

That would be my best recommendation.
