If you mean something that will directly read a sim card, then I dont know of
anything.

But, I did have some enjoyment with wammu a few years ago when I needed to
transfer all my contacts between the old and new phone. The new phone was
accessable through wammu and I put the old sim in it and uploaded all the
data, then put the new sim in it and downloaded it all again.

Maybe you could find/borrow a phone that can connect and stick your sim in it?

Does your phone support SyncML? If so, you can backup everything to:

Or even sync your calendar with Google Calendar:
