I need help with conversion. Here is what I did:
1. Synced 3GS with iTunes (phone name was "vic's iPhone")
2. Activated iPhone 4
3. During activation it asked me to create phone name. By mistake I typed "Victor's iPhone" instead of "vic's iPhone"
4. Attempted to sync with iTunes.
5. iTunes stated that it will replace 4 with another phone's backup.

As a result, everything is wrong on my iPhone 4. My iPhone 3GS data did NOT transfer to iPhone 4.

How do I create iPhone 4 with the same name as my 3GS was so it will sync with "vic's iPhone" instead of "Victor's iPhone"? How do I change the name of my iPhone 4 in iTunes? I am very bad with iTunes so I try not to use it. I only used iTunes when I initially setup iPhone, transfered from iPhone to iPhone 3GS (was very painful with inadequate 2 days support) and now (everything is wrong). What do I do? I am at the point of returning iPhone 4. Please help.
 
Just plug it in click restore after it has done that just choose the option to setup as "vic's" iPhone (the backup of your 3GS) Not the setup as a new iPhone option.
