iCloud won't sync to my iPhone

Hi! I've migrated to iCloud and all my devices except my iPhone synced my contacts. I can see my contacts correctly on iCloud.com, on my 3 other Macs' address books. But none of my contacts shown on the iPhone contacts. I've enabled iCloud contacts sync on my iPhone, chosen delete all off the phone now it doesn't populate my contacts from iCloud. I've tried re-disabling and re-enabling again and again. It says activating contacts but its been two days and nothing happening. Is there any way?

I solved this in the end by removing everything on iphone and computer, upgrading from iOS 5 to 5.1 and reinstalling.

After updating to its 5.1 iCloud now works. So if you're still having trouble and haven't updated yet give it a try.

That's iOS, not "it's".

I've had this problem for 3 weeks, my contacts just all of a sudden disappeared completely. I followed the the steps of deleting them reinstalling icloud account, it worked for calendar, but not contacts until I pushed groups and untick Facebook then all my contacts appeared. I have no idea why this helped.

Best wishes to those who are in this boat
