It seems the phone needs a data/wifi connection to authenticate your gmail account. I've read somewhere that your phone can still receive calls, and theres a split-second window when the phone starts to ring when you can press a button e.g. menu to bring up settings, enable wifi/data. This could then allow you to authenticate the phone with google to unlock.

Even if it doesnt work, your contacts should be backed up with google, so you can access them on a pc. Photos will be on your sdcard which you can access with a sdcard reader on a pc.
