Try this:
1. In Recovery Mode Screen (it shows a cable and a CD looking iTunes icon), press and hold power + home for about 10 seconds, this will shut the screen down. Let go of buttons!
2. With the screen dark, press and hold power+home buttons again. This time, the Apple logo will light up for about 8 seconds then again it will be powered down. (I noticed this round of power down, it seems to be a little different with the way the screen shuts off, hard to explain). Let go of buttons!
3. Once again, press and hold power+home buttons (only this time, you'll mimic the entering DFU mode like pattern) by counting to about 8 seconds then release the power button. Keep holding down the home button until about 20 seconds then let go. During this time, the Apple logo should reappear but don't get distracted, keep up with the counting. By the time you let go all buttons 20 seconds later, the Apple logo should stay lit and it will boot into regular mode shortly after.
U can also try a program called iRecovery for Mac or http://jaxov.com/2010/07/exit-recove...ithout-libusb/ for PC

This happened to me, restore your iphone on another computer, and then connect it back to your original computer to sync all your old info. You will lose anything that you don't have backed up but you will have a working phone which is preferable

Did a 'restore' via remotely from apple care. Seems to be okay..... little bastard!
She admitted that b/c of the new update 4.3.2 or something she just started recieving phone calls w/ the same issue. - Thought it was nice of her to be honest.
Thanks for the help peeps.

Have you tried taking it to an Apple store, could be the phone itself causing the problem. or user error.

I'm not doing ANYTHING but just hooking the damn thing up and clicking 'download and upload'.
