Does anyone know if the mobileme service will push your contacts if you lose the data on your phone? For example, if you were on vacation somewhere, and had to trade in your iphone at an apple store for replacement, could you pop your sim in the phone, activate it, and have all of your contact information pushed to you immediately??

Should. Would sync to start it up and load up your iPhone with the data from "the cloud" once you've entered your MobileMe account info.
 
I'm not an expert, but I don't see why not. When I change contact info on my phone or computer, it automatically updates mobileme, and since its stored online you should have no problem.
 
when I bought my iPhone I had all my info in the "cloud".
Had the iPhone activated at the store, and tried to sync it on my way back home.. but for whatever reason mobileme just refused to.

I couldn't get my contacts until I did a full sync with my mac then activated push again


by the way.. mobileme push email is the worst i've seen.
I waited for 4 hours and would not get the email I sent myself to try.

Contacts and calendars work just fine tho.
