Help, blackberry broken can I retrieve numbers

Hi

My blackberry curve 8900 got wet the other day and not wont turn on, I thought all my contacts were saved to Sim but ive out the sim into another phone and they arent, my pics etc are on the memory card but not the contacts, it wont switch on but the red light shows when i try to switch it on, is there any way that the numbers can be retrieved? If I cant do it myself would they be able to in a mobile phone shop?

    If it just got wet, take out the battery and use a hairdryer to dry the inside (not too hot!) or leave in the airing cupboard for a day or so.

    It should switch back on again allowing you to copy your contacts off.

    If it 'lives' then plug it into the computer and load the Blackberry desktop software. That'll allow you to copy off the data?
