Help!

Last night, my N900 was knocked out of my hands by a random stranger swinging arms wildly about in a drunken manner. Phone went flying & hit the ground, guts all spilled out (back fell off and battery on the floor).

All credit to Nokia, there were no signs of any damage once reassembled. In fact it looks perfect, apart from the fact it cracked my LCD touchscreen, so much that it doesn't display anything except beautiful multi-coloured cracked glass pattern.

Primary goal : recover my contacts / address book, buy a replacement / or somehow get Nokia to repair the screen (Nokia HK don't seem know about this model)

Disaster! The phone was still responsive for a little after this (I even sent a text message!) in the tiny corner of the screen where I could just about make out the send button. Now the screen is totally dead, and I can't see the keypad through the crazy colours in order to enter the device pin code to get it to fully boot up.

I need to download all my contacts, can I still do this over USB?
Desperately need to download this data... photos etc not as bothered but would be ideal.

Any help really really appreciated!

( I did have an older contacts backup but that was on my SD card which maemo kindly wiped randomly (see other thread!) )
