Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what information is synced to itunes from iphone? My Iphone was stolen last week and i have ordered a Nokia as replacement until I am eligible for upgrade. I had all of my contacts,messages,photos on my phone and has recently hooked it up to home computer. Is there a chance that everything is stored in itunes and I may be able to access them. Thanks in advance.

It all depends on how you've set up iTunes, if you've never messed with it and you've done a back up recently the the default should save the important stuff. When you get a new iPhone just do a restore from backup and you should get most of it back.

It saves a backup file on your hard drive in addition to what's saved through itunes.
Located here: For XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
For Vista/Windows 7 - C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

It's hidden by default.
You will be able to extract contacts and other info.
