Okay. Actually, the other day I officially, legitimately factory unlocked my
phone. While backing up files, I got the message suggesting that it will
take about 12 hours for the process. Which was a ridiculous amount of time.
I talked to an expert and he pointed at the possibility that my phone was
jail broken. That was true. And yes, the continue button or the information
that the phone is completely backed up, unlocked and ready to use is not
accessible by Jaws.

Phone is not jailbroken. My unlock was legitimate and official, and
was done through my carrier. In Canada, Telus will unlock all their
iPhones after 90 days of use on the Telus network. This message
appears every time a carrier unlocked iPhone is restored in iTunes. It
isn't "misleading," it just confirms that your IMEI is in Apple's
database as being unlocked. I have restored my phone multiple times;
the same message reappears. The only problem is the fact that there
seems to be no accessible way to actually hit that Continue button.
Likely it's not required as I assume pressing Continue merely hides
the message; for instance, closing then reopening iTunes works, or you
can go into the source list and access your phone then choose to
restore from a backup from the context menu; but I still find it
disconcerting.
The only way to get around this is to do the activation on the phone
itself, then plug it into iTunes to begin sinking or restoring from a
backup. If you do that then no prompting is given in iTunes. Hopefully
this accessibility issue will be resolved soon.

That's correct. You often get misleading messages at the time of
Unlocking, more so if the phone is jail broken.

No idea. I'm guessing it's a JAWS issue though because I'm sure plenty
of people would have reported it if it were an iTunes issue. There are
similar accessibility issues when using JAWS scattered through the
rest of iTunes. I'm using iTunes version 11.
I may try an another restore, but I've been told not to worry about
it. I believe the message was simply to acknowledge that the unlock
was completed, rather than requiring any further action on my part.

both?

My phone was officially unlocked today through my carrier. I restored
it in iTunes and got the message reading, "congratulations, your
iPhone has been unlocked." This shows up the first time a phone is
carrier-unlocked, and I was instructed to press a "continue" button to
begin syncing my phone.
Bizarrely, JAWS on my PC was unable to see any "continue" button. I
tried with the PC and JAWS cursors and even convenient OCR and it was
nowhere to be found, so I eventually had to exit and restart iTunes to
hide the message and continue.
I'm assuming there won't be any consequences as a result of doing
that, but still, just thought I'd throw it out there. That was quite
disconcerting.
