It means you need to plug youy iPhone into iTunes on your computer. Before I give any other advice, what happened to cause this scree... anything in particular?

Nothing it just started doing it from startup?! I thought it meant something else for this reason...

Unplug to from iTunes and reset it... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

If it doesn't boot up, connect to iTunes and Restore it from your backup.

Tried that, sorry it happened when I did a firmare upgrade.

Think I'm going to have to do a Firmware start method skipping the OS load up.

And my final question, can anyone tell if this is a 2g or 3g iPhone just from that one picture? Is there a way I can find out?

PS. I'm not at home at the moment so I can not check!
