[maemo-developers] Maemo 5 on Nokia N900 had a downfall - please advise how to retrive data from the phone

[From: Elena Panina]

Hello, 

I decided to send an e-mail to Maemo developers as a last resort measure. 

Briefly, I have been a Nokia customer for more than 8 years with my recent phone N900 bought right after its release in Russia in January 2010. 
I have never experienced any problems with this phone until recently, when I went to the USA and switched on this phone - the touch screen immediately stopped working. Upon my return to Moscow, I called Nokia hot line, applied to local Moscow repair & maintenance centers (authorised by Nokia), however, the response that I got was that the problem is not about the touch screen, but about the operating system and they cannot do anything about it to return the phone to a normal working mode. 

The problem is that I have lost all the data - the address book, messages, notes, photos, everything. I have never made back ups for my Nokia phones. 

Can you please advise if there is at least a little chance to retrieve the data from the phone and if yes, how can it be done? 
Would be grateful for your response. 

Best regards,
Elena 

P.S. I am located in Moscow, you can reach me either via this e-mail or at my cell: + 7 903 961 20 94 (may be someone is based in Moscow as well?)
