Weird “iPhone is activated” message

I power off my iPhone every evening. This morning, when I powered it up, I got a screen that visually prompted me to plug the iPhone to my iTunes, along with a “Slide for Emergency” button (in various languages). As I was away from home this morning, I simply shut the phone off. When I powered it up again, it booted normally but I received a "iPhone is activated” message, along with a “Dismiss” button.

What happened? Should I be anxious about a possible system failure? Have I done some serious damage to my iPhone's drive?

My iPhone has the lastest software installed, is “legal” (its system is not jailbroken) and I'm with Fido (in Canada).

iMac Intel, Mac OS X (10.5.5), iPhone 3G v2.1

I also experienced the same issue this morning after turning off my iPhone the night before. I don't think it is a network issue because I am in Canada using Fido network.
