You definitely made a mistake by not backing up your MobileSync folder. To be able to sync with the laptop again, you really have to erase everything on your iPhone. Here's what you can do to avoid having to lose all your info:

CONTACTS - If you're not synced to MobileMe/Google/Exchange/etc., consider signing up for a GMail account and sync your contacts. You can retrieve them again after you sync with your laptop.

MEDIA (music, photos, etc.) - Consider a program such as iRip (paid) to transfer all your media to your laptop. If you're jailbroken, you can also use SSH or other utilities like iPhone Explorer or Phone Disk to backup your files.

Hope this helps!
