Police are now investigating whether CCTV footage captured by a nearby shop shows the moment the sickening thieves stole the phone.
The video taken by CCTV at Vip Consult shows the moped collide with the woman.
A number of passers-by can then be seen to rush to her immediately after the collision.
Chriss George, who runs the shop which offers security and CCTV services as well as computer and phone repairs, said he checked the cameras the day after the accident.
He told MailOnline: 'I had a lot of customers in the shop on that day so I saw the police and realised that something had happened but I didn't really see what it was at the time.
'I heard the sirens from the police and the ambulance but I didn't realise until the next day when I heard what had happened.'

Mr George said it was then that he checked the CCTV from the day before and saw the accident.
Mr George said he was shocked that thieves stole the woman's phone following the accident.
He said: 'What sort of person would you have to be to do something like this? How can they sleep at night?'
Police Constable Toni Broadbent, of Bournemouth police, said he was appealing for witnesses.

He said: 'This callous act has been carried out while she lay helplessly in the road following a road traffic collision, and we are extremely keen to trace the offenders.
'The mobile phone taken is a large Samsung model, and I am keen to hear from anyone who may have been offered this type of phone for sale in strange circumstances or for an unusually low price.'
The first offender is described as a white man aged in his forties, with fair cropped hair. He was wearing a light green, collared jacket which was zipped up to the top.
The second person is described as a white woman aged in her fifties wearing a white cardigan with stars or snowflakes printed on it.
No arrests have been made.
