I have a Nokia 5800, whose owner has forgotten to back up contacts regularly and now the touch screen conveniently died, just after the warranty expired.

Is somehow possible to extract the contacts from the phone?

For example boot the phone into a terminal/service/debug mode, or control the screen without using the keyboard. Using PC Suite is no good, because the default option after connecting USB cable is "USB Mass Storage".

Thanks

Does the user has set up an Nokia Ovi account and has he/she ever used the Contacts service? If so, their contacts are synced automatically and they can access the contacts via web: contactsui.ovi.com/contacts – Gani Simsek Apr 7 '11 at 9:18
Did you try with new Ovi suite? On some phones form that series (I haven't tried it with 5800), it would switch automatically when phone is connected and Ovi is running. – AndrejaKo Apr 7 '11 at 10:12
