At first I lost all but those that I had received an sms from, and then when I deleted all my messages, my contact list is now blank? How do I retrieve my contacts? (100+ numbers I haven't got written down anywhere)

A volatile folder where sms r stored after deleting from inbox

I don't care about the deleted sms, I need my entire contact list / phonebook back.

*edit* and I just used SIM Manager in Accessories to get all of my old (ie from before I bought my Orbit) contacts from the simcard, but still no sign of another 75+ missing numbers. :(

My work pc had to be reformatted, using a copy of windows without outlook? Windows Live Mail or some such rubbish instead. Is there any way of retrieving my contacts then?

If you reformatted your PC and lost Outlook, then you have more than likely lost the contacts for good. You should have deleted your PC partnership on the phone, reinstalled Outlook and then synced as that would of just added the contacts back to your new install of Outlook.

I hate to say it, but unless you have the files from your old windows installation, then your stuffed.
