You didn't have a backup program of any sort? Are the contacts still on your Touch?

May we suggest a device based backup application? Even one that is dedicated to backing up the PIM files. Such in place means no lost data when playing.

Were you using Outlook on your computer?? If so go to personal folders, then deleted items. Everything should be in there.

http://myphone.microsoft.com no reason to not use it. I use it for my primary backup and occasionally sync with outlook as a secondary.

forgot about myphone, I've been using it since beta, and is awesome. It is free for the most part. It has premium services such as wipe and find lost phone.
