I'm trying to install 4.3.3 but the installation appears to have stopped halfway through

I started installing IOS 4.3.3 on my iphone but it is now stuck on the black screen with the apple and the progress bar is not moving.  What can I do?  Very irritating as I don't want to have to restore the phone again
