Urgent help - 3.1.2 issue!? ...

Hi guys,

Plugged my iPhone through USB for only the 2nd time since I got it (2nd hand though) and iTunes offered a 3.1.2 upgrade.

Decided to go for it and everything seemed fine. Backed everything up (apparently) and downloaded 3.1.2.

Shortly after I got the 'iTunes' screen and nothing was working. Closed iTunes and started it again. I get a message saying it's in recovery mode and needs to restore.

Hopefully I won't lose anything and do actually have everything backed up but after waiting for restore to do it's business I get an error message - think it's the same error 28 other people are having.

And that's it...

Been reading around and a few people think it's a hardware issue but I don't see how that can be possible. I have had no problems AT ALL with the iPhone right up until I accepted 3.1.2 and now I have this.

What's the best plan of action? Will I lose everything (Apps, contacts, photos, etc)?

Thanks,

Cammy

EDIT - Just checked again. It's coming up with an error 1604. The iTunes logo stays on but when iTunes says "preparing iPhone to restore" the screen flickers and turns black.

Really need this sorted asap (obviously).

All I wanted to do was put some music on it...
