iTunes 9.0.1 freezes while "verifying ...

My iphone (3.1.2) can't now sync to iTunes (9.0.1) it will freeze when it attempts to verify ("verifying iPhone") and up comes a spinning cursor; have to force quit.
Any one else have this issue; is there a solution? Phone reset didn't work; then I tried a software restore. Spent all yesterday restoring my phone; and that did not work; either; the problem persists.

Any Solutions? Is this a job for Dr. Smoke?

thanks
