I hooked up my new iPhone 4. It activated and then gave me the option to set up as new phone or restore from backup. I choose restore. After it restored it automatically syncs and all seemed well. But the next time I plugged into my computer iTunes asked again if I wanted to set up as new or restore.

I restored it again, but this time after it finished I immediately did a manual backup (right click on the iPhone icon and select backup). That did the trick.

I believe that because I didn't backup the first time iTunes thought that it was a new phone again.

I hope this helps someone here.
