I have a buddy's iPhone 3G here. He's used it for a few months and NEVER synced it to a computer. I have no idea why, its strange. heh.

Anyway, he has his contacts and photos saved in the phone. When I plug into iTunes it says "Set up iPhone for the first time....yadda yadda".

Now, it doesn't say anything about 'restore'. But it does give me the option to "Set up as a new iPhone". Do you think that "set up" is simply getting the iPhone and iTunes linked?

Or...will it wipe everything?

Its a catch 22 because I can't perform a backup until the phone is "set up". But if that deletes everything.....yeah. Any ideas?
