Getting data off a broken 6120 — Nokia 6110, 6120 and 6121

Hey there!

I've got this problem... My old phone, a 6120, suffered a mishap a few months ago and the screen won't turn on, ie. the phone turns on as normal, but the screen just glows black. It's on but there's no picture, if that makes sense.
Anyway, my new phone is an e51 and I was wondering if it were possible to get my data (messages, photos, contacts) from the 6120 to the e51 (or computer, or something) using bluetooth or infrared. The only way I can see of doing it is knowing the number of specific button presses, from the phone's main menu, so that i can navigate "blind" and turn on bluetooth or whatever. But, as is probably apparent, I'm way outta my depth here. =)
Please, can anyone help?

Have you tried the USB cable. Less stages to remember blind (in fact it may work without any keypresses). That way you can back things up using PC Suite.

Note you may need to select the type of USB connection (this is the bit you would need to do blind), but that pops up when you connect a cable (I think, can't remember eact 612- details).

Hmm... I've got a mac, heh. I suppose that's gonna make it harder?

How did you go with the USB?
It should be possible in bluetooth too, using OBEX. The only problem is pairing blind.
Mac / win /. linux, it doesnt matter.
