Problems with a recycled iPhone

My daughter got an iPhone 4SG and gave me her old iPhone 3G.

In setting up the 3G I have a couple of problems. I hope it isn't too ancient to get help here

First and foremost - my contacts....

I have had a Nokia (from new) for years. It has (had?) my contacts on it. I put the SIM in the iPhone. There was options to restore or save to iCloud etc and set up new phone.

I chose to setup as new phone now I don't have any contacts

I will try in back in my Nokia to check if they are still there but I wondered if this is to be expected or is there a way to transfer my contacts (in the SIM card) to the iPhone?

Then I tried to use the same AppleID that I use in my iPad 3 and got funny errors about wrong password etc and was told to reset the password in iforgot.apple.com which I did but I couldn't get it to accept the iPad ID. It also wouldn't accept my Yahoo address as that was setup in the iPad as a mail address.

I had to use an old little used email address as an ID. It was suggested that I should be able to use the Ipad ID so I don't know if I can reset it etc???

Can someone give me some pointers or is there a link I can go to for help?

TIA
