i would tell her to go to her provider, no offense but i dont consider the guys at target an authority on anything but cheap toiletries. phone companies have this sweet machine that can move contacts and pics between phones. although im not positive it will work for iphone
yeah thats why I put the lol next to target.
I keep telling her it is impossible now (considering she turned the iphone in and no longer has it), and she keeps arguing me. Even though shes the one that cant figure out how to use email on an iphone lol

Is she on a Mac running Snow Leopard? (might even work on Leopard too)
She could sync her address book to her GMail account if so. See the screenshot below but before she syncs, make sure she backs them up first, just in case!
If she still had the iPhone and was using Windows she could have done this: http://www.trickyways.com/2010/06/how-to-export-iphone-contacts-as-csv-file-in-windows-7/ but if it's gone then I have no idea.

im not sure what provider the atrix is on but im on verizon and when i log into the verizon site i can save my contacts on the verizon site, then when i get a new phone i go back to the site and load them. thats how i got my contacts from my droid x to my iphone. im not sure if at&t has something similar
I'm curious to why she turned it in. Where did she turn it in and to whom?? I hope it wasn't target.
Target actually gave her 80 dollars towards her new phone when she turned her 8 gig 3G in... I know not the best (I use craigslist all the time), but there was no way I was going to try and sell it on craigslist in the condition it was in.
Yes...go into your address book app on your computer...find her contact list...then export them as the person above directed...then log into her gmail account (if she has one...if not create her one...she'll need it for android market access anyways) then import her contact list...then have her sync her gmail account on the atrix and BOOM all her contacts will be DL to the phone...this is how I did it with mine and it took about 5 minutes! hope this helps!
EDIT: noticed you just posted that they're not in address book...looks like you'll need to back yours up, put her backup onto yours, sync her contacts over to address book, then do the gmail sync
for future refrence, you should always make sure your contacts are in address book on the computer, on the phone, and stored online with at least one account (I have all my contacts on my iPhone, my windows phone, synced to all of my computers, both mac and pc, with mobile me, and stored online with mobile me, gmail, and windows live. It'd be virtually impossible for me to ever lose my contacts)
No impossible. Easy 10 minute job.
Hey not to back up guys from target (because as an AT&T employee i see their screw ups all the time) but this can be done fairly painlessly. Google contacts is the best way to back up the contacts from itunes, and a free software from the motorola website called Motorola Media Link will transfer photos, music, or podcasts.
Hopefully this helps!

You don't even need to use media link.
If your contacts are stored in Google, they will be automatically added to the phone when you add your Google account to the phone.
