Motorola Q Forum | Everything Q - View Single Post - Outlook overwrote my phone contacts. Can I get them back?

I wasn't able to find an answer to this, so sorry if it's already been addressed elsewhere.

I was excited about using Active Sync with my new Q9h, but then horrified when I saw that it had overwritten my phone contacts with the paltry list from Outlook. All my hard work entering contact data is gone now, replaced by these Outlook contacts.

I would like to find out:

Why did Active Sync overwrite my phone-stored contacts with Outlook contacts without asking?

Is there any way to get my contacts back without manually re-entering?
