I'm surprised you can't get at the address book and messages in USB mass
storage mode. Motorola, Samsung, HTC, LG usually allow that mode.
I guess it varies dependant upon the make and model of the phone. (my
phone runs Linux and can be accessed with AT commands, but it's not an
Android).

An alternative might be to backup all your contacts and messages from
the phone to the SIM, then tranfer the SIM to a device that can be
accessed by Wammu i.e. most USB Modems[*1], another phone.

Except the newer Ethernet over USB ones unfortunately.
