"Error creating ds account: null" after iphone ios 5 update when attempting sign in with Apple ID..any ideas?

I have just updated my iPhone software to ios 5, it all seemed to go very smoothly until I was asked for my Apple ID.

I clearly have a working ID as I'm signed into this very website so it isn't a problem with that - but when I've attempted sign-in it has come up with "Error creating ds account: null"

I was going to skip this step but it pops up again saying that you need it for iTunes and I wasn't sure if I could sign into my ID at a later time or not, so I'm stuck on the Apple ID page!

Has anyone else had this issue or a solution?

Thank you!

Same problem here with an iPhone4S and a Account from MobileMe which we migrated to iCloud before using it on the iPhone4S.

I have the same problem today trying to activate my new 4S on Verizon. I too can log into my account with my ID and password but the phone will not accept them. Even replaced my password to be sure but still no luck - This *****!

I've managed to sort it out now - I think my problem was to do with the Internet, as my connection wasn't working when I first tried to sign into apple ID. I did a step back and re-selected my Internet router, and it then seemed to work! Give this a go because it worked for me!

I was able to configure iCloud with the Configuration App. I simly skip the dialog during installation and then later open the Configuration App - now it works.
