How can I get around iTunes asking me to resotre from a backup or set up as a new iPhone?

 
I don't believe you can, it is a part of setting up the ipod and activating it. Why do you want to skip this part anyway?
 
I just hit setup as new iPhone, and everything has been kept. Strange was worried everything would go back to stock, bonus 😀

Yeah if you have purchased any apps, if they are on your computer they will sync back to your phone, very convenient.
