i downloaded iOS 5 via iTunes and it looked like it was installing fine. i got a screen for verizon that asked for my telephone number, zip, last 4 digs of SS and a password. I entered that information and then out of no where it said it couldn't proceed and it started restoring the settings.
not sure what is wrong, but if i mis-entered some info, i would think that it would ask me to re-type it. the restore took 40 minutes and then i had to leave for work. so i wasn't able to troubleshoot it.
anyone else experience this or know what's happening?
