So I got my iphone 4S, activated over the phone since I was at work, go home and plug it in to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

Being the tech that I am I figure, I'll just DFU the iphone and restore it with my itunes hopefully that fixes the issue.
Cannot restore, keep getting error 16xx and got error 21 once. This makes no sense, it's a brand new phone with official ipsw from apple.

iTunes hangs at Preparing iPhone for Restore then the iPhone sits there and eventually reboots itself and then I get the error message on iTunes.

Help please? :/
I do have iTunes 10.5 Official and I did try removing and reinstalling.
