i like to have a backup just in case something happened to my phone/itunes....is it possible to save my contacts to my pc in a non-itunes file for future use in case of emergency so i could just add it to a new phone if i ever had to
 
IIRC, they are automatically synced to Address Book on a Mac.

On Win, I'm not sure ... What about iCloud?
 
I once sync'd it with Google and then exported the contacts as a XML file from the site.

There might be an easier way now though.

Click to expand...

Plug your iphone to itunes, click on the iphone on the left and then go to the info tab.
click the box sync contacts with: windows contacts.
Then it will copy all your contacts to your computer and you can go to the following folder on your hard drive and view, edit or delete them.
C:\Users\"yourname"\Contacts
You dont need any software for windows contacts.
