Help! Replacement phone stuck after restore

My phone is stuck on "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." If I hit "force close," the screen just keeps popping back up. I've powered off twice and even pulled the battery. My only other idea is to force into factory reset during reboot. ??
 
Head slap -- I think I figured it out. In the middle of my 3d factory reset, I got the OTA 2.2 update. I then realized what the problem was -- my old phone was on forced 2.2. When I restored the system settings from my old phone onto my new phone (2.1), there was a conflict. After I did the OTA update on my new phone to 2.2, and then restored again, all was well.

Seems so obvious now, but at the time I just wasn't thinking of OS conflicts when restoring my user data.
