I was doing a simple update of one of my apps when it mentioned that I needed to install the new Blackberry App World platform. No problem there. I installed the new version of the app and the phone went straight to a reboot. After that, I got a white screen with a "JVM Error 545" message. I found this link as a possible solution and began the process... I'm thinking now that I missed a step or something because after updating all my BB desktop software, I plugged in my phone and it immediately offered to update the phone's software. I assumed it was just and update so I never selected "Backup and Restore"... In any event, after this process was over, all my data was gone --contacts, previous emails, contacts, themes, etc. I haven't performed a backup in a very long time and I'm starting to freak out....

Does anyone know of a way to recover this data from the SIM card or something I can do to try and get this information back?

Without a current backup, it is most likely gone.

Lesson learned - if the data is important - backup often.
