iPhone stuck on "Slide for Emergency" screen?

How do I get it off this screen and to the actuall iPhone? Please help!!

Me too! Updated my iPhone 3G to OS 4.1 (via iTunes 10.0.1.22, the latest version) and now it's USELESS!

No login, no signal, no apps, no way to restore! EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY.

Very bad problem.

When I connect the iPhone to iTunes it says "We could not complete your iTunes request. An unknown error occurred (-9812)". No way out.

Any suggestions?

*_You need to put your old SIM card back in for it to Unlock itself._ After it unlocks, you can remove the SIM card again.* +Oh and make sure its connected to your computer with iTunes open when you do this(you also might need to power off and on the phone once).+

You can also use a deactivated/unactivated or prepaid SIM card as long as its from the same network(ex: AT&T) the phone is locked to.

FYI, I just leave one of my old SIM's in my old iPhone 3G and turn on airplane mode. That way whenever I restore I don't have to yank the SIM out of a working phone just to unlock the stupid thing.
