Transferring back-up from old iPhone to new one

I have a new iPhone 3Gs and want to transfer my old settings from my old iPhone 3G to it.

I followed the steps from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 but it just kept the original settings on the new phone. Then i went and deleted the back-up files from Preferences-> Devices but now when i back up the old phone then plug in the new one, Restore From Back-up doesn't even appear as an option when I right-click the iPhone tab.
Anyone able to help?

Do you still see the backup of your 3G in settings/devices? If yes, try to restore your 3Gs "as new iphone" and see if you can choose to restore from your 3G backup after that. Your 3Gs should detect the old backup and ask you if you want to restore from that during the first sync.
But make sure to back up your data before. 🙂
