I found this on a trawl round my laptop:

It sounds complicated, but it saved a friend of his 400 lost contacts

Dont forget if you get stuck, Nokia.com the website of this mobile provider does answer the problems. If it is any help there were a lot of requests like this so maybe it happens more than we think on this phone? Good luck

The “Howto” for Restoring your lost contact entries:
First of all, when iSyncing any device with your local databases, backups are created. However, those backups are not accessible and not easy to restore, at least for the “common” user. This is a guide on how to restore the backed up AddressBook database. The method is as follows: – Make sure you’re in Finder, if you’re not sure what Finder is, just click on an empty space on the desktop of your operating system (Mac OS X is assumed to be your OS). – Do the following key combination: “Command + Shift + G”. In the textbox that appears, type the following: ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook – In the Finder window that opens, there will be a certain number of files and directories. The ones relevant to us are the files named AddressBook.data which represent your current addressbook database entries and AddressBook.data.previous, which is the backup made by iSync before things got ugly (referring to one of the two examples above). – Before proceeding any further, it would be a good idea to make a backup of both files AddressBook.data and AddressBook.data.previous. – Once the files have been safely backed up in another directory or maybe even on your USB Flash disk, rename AddressBook.data to something like AddressBook.data.7_Nov_2006 (the appended date is not necessary but is useful for future reference). We could have named the file AddressBook.data.my_current_manual_backup and it would not matter. – Then rename the AddressBook.data.previous file to AddressBook.data – The next step is to relaunch AddressBook.app and you should see your erased contacts back where they belong.

Data loss always happen unexpectedly. So if you do not have a backup file, you might be panic. Samsung Data Recovery software can help you to get lost contacts back with no backup.
