I did it!  :-/
I think I borked my iPhone 3G (8GB).

When I try to turn it on, I get what looks like horizontal lines  
flickering.
Then I get a white screen.
A couple of times I saw the Apple with (iirc) a '?' beneath it.

When I connect to my laptop (MacBook Pro 15" 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, only  
original RAM and HD, no USB devices hooked up except my Apple keyboard  
(and I tried using just the laptop's built-in keyboard)....

....it says "An iPhone was found in recovery mode" and it asks if I  
want to restore/upgrade.

I click "Restore"

Then, after several minutes, I get:"

"The iPhone could not be restored.  An unknown error occurred (1604)."

There's a link for more info which takes you to a help page on Apple's  
site.
There they suggest restarting the computer, restarting the iPhone,  
disconnecting external USB devices, changing cables.  Been there, done  
that.  No dice.

I even zapped the PRAM on the laptop for good measure.

Nada.

Any ideas?  Is there a way to force-reset the iPhone?

Thanks for reading.  I am grateful for any help you wizards might be  
able to provide.
