I've been successfully using my iPhone in the UK (iPod/WiFi) for a couple of weeks now, having bought it off eBay already "activated" (with the hack).

Whenever I plug my iPhone into my Mac, iTunes asks me if I want to activate my phone. I always click cancel, and then "yes" I'm sure, and all is well.

But, from about 5 mins ago, whenever I plug my iPhone in, I click cancel as usual in iTunes for the activation, but now a new screen comes up called "Set Up Your iPhone". I then have to select "set up as a new iPhone", or "restore from a previous backup". I've never seen this screen before, and there doesn't appear to be a way to get out of it without doing a restore (which will probably wipe out my activation hack). I'm on 1.0.0 by the way, just because I wanted to avoid any issues with the hack.

I've not upgraded iTunes or anything (still on 7.5.3) for the same reason.

Can anyone help??

Thanks.
