Your best bet is third party software here's an example:

There are others, do a google search for iphone copy or rip.

Can't I just do this with iTunes? I don't really have any music that I need to get off the iPhone that isn't already on the computer. I just want to make sure that contact list is fully copied from one to the other.

In your first post, you said "all data". A few questions:
Are you syncing both phones with the same computer & same account now?
Are both phones activated?

Sync the source phone to your computer. Then, connect the destination phone, and click Restore in iTunes. Select the backup of the source phone for the backup to restore from, and everything except the Wi-Fi passwords will be transferred to the destination phone.

if you don't have data that was created on the phone you just need to 'restore from backup' twice; once to each phone (well in reality just one 'backup' from the 'master' and then 'restore' to the other. you then can re-name the cloned phone to avoid confusion when mounting in iTunes.
