How to swap contacts to my new iphone without using itunes?

I just want to get the contacts from my dodgy iphone4 onto a new iphone4 but when i back up the old one and then plug in the new one and click on the manual restore back up it doesn't show that i have the option to use the back up i've just done. Is there any other way of swapping my contacts over?

You can't

Yes there's, download an app called My Contacts Backup on the old phone with the contacts that you want to transfer over. Then in the app tap backup then tap email and email it to yourself. Now on the new phone go to your email that you sent it to and open the attachment and it should transfer over.
