This is probably a simple question for many of you so hopefully you can help me out as I'm worried i'll lose all my contacts.

I could care less about my saved texts, I just want to make sure I dont lose all my contacts.

When I set up my iphone 4 tomorrow, can I set it up as a new phone? or do I need to restore from backup in order to get the contacts? whenever i sync my phone in itunes it says syncing contacts... does that mean its stored in itunes and when i set up as a new phone for the 4 i can just sync all my contacts, music, photos, etc. or can this be done ONLY from restoring as backup?

sorry to ask such a noob question, i haven't done this in a while so I forget.
