I may be wrong but I was under the impression that any contacts you entered on your Iphone would be transferred to your contact list on your computer when you do a sync using Itunes. If someone here knows better than this, please tell the both of us just was does take place during a sync as far as contacts are concerned.

Is your computer a Mac or Windows PC?

As already provided, the iPhone is designed to sync contact information with a compatible application on your computer via the iTunes sync process - be it Apple's Address Book on a Mac or Outlook on a Windows PC. This is the only way to transfer contact information from the iPhone to your computer.

I use Outlook 2003 on my laptop. When I add a new contact to the iPhone only and sync that new contact is added to Outlook.

i found that when I performed a restore on the phone - i was asked if i wanted to make a back up. I did. After restore, i was able to back up all of my phone info. Alas, this still did not fix my wifi drop problem....
