i-Funbox should be able to help you. Next time you grab an iPhone, I advise you to set up iCloud or at least use something like OneDrive to backup important stuff. Personally I back up my iPhone settings/apps with iCloud then my pictures with OneDrive. Of course an occasional iTunes back helps with a lot of grief down the road if anything happens.

I've never ran into this situation b4, but can you use a wifi transfer tool to see what is on your phone?

I dunno about iphone screens but I have replaced the digitizer on a cheap Chinese tablet
and it wasn't that hard. Now I need to replace a screen on a similar tablet..this time the LCD...There are some youtube videos on replacing the screen on a tablet that are pretty straight forward...it's not that different for the iphone I'm guessing...and the screen shouldn't be all that much...look to one of those auction sites...they also have "buy it now" options as well. Btw, even though your digitizer may be ok (assuming that your LCD is broke), it is advisable to get both the screen and the digitizer because it is very easy to destroy the digitizer while trying to separate it from the main body unless you have the proper tools (also available dirt cheap)
Good Luck

If all else fails, I am sure an Apple store would be able to extract the contact info.

That's what I was thinking too. Surely they'll charge a fee, but they have the capability to do pretty much whatever you need.

Actually, apple would not recover the data. You would need to have them fix the screen first. Then you might be able to get the data back, but there is no guarantee you can even get the data back since they usually restore phones after they're repaired. (I work for apple)
You may want to look into doing a screen repair yourself or take it to a local repair shop
