    I'm sure I you right click your phone icon in iTunes it brings up a couple of options. One of those should be backup. That's what I did when I got a replacement and it backed up everything.
    Besides what mentioned above, i like to share you a page about iPhone Transfer Backup Reviews, which included transferring iPhone SMS/contacts and other contents to computer/iTunes.
    Good luck!!

    If i'm not mistaken you plug your 3GS into itunes and hit Backup, then plug your 4G and hit restore. All done!

    Are you upgrading to a new device? All you have to do is plug the 3GS into your computer and do a sync and back up. Then disconnect the 3GS, plug in the iPhone 4 and do a restore from the back up.

    connect your iphone with computer and open itunes, when itunes recognize your iphone, open the info tab and select to sync address book contacts, then click “apply”. If this is your first using iphone I suggest you go to apple’s support website to learn more basic uses, if you tired of itunes you can choose other iphone transfer to do your backup.then transfer the contact from you pc to iphone4 .
