I upgraded my iPhone 4 from iTunes to 5.0.1. Now everything is gone; photos, contacts, all gone.  It has been restored to factory defaults.  All I did was push the button to download and install.  How can a programmed upgrade to this?  Is there any way to

Is there anyway to restore back to where I started?  I just downloaded and upgraded, hands off.  But it looks like the phone has been set to factory defaluts.  I saw a message to that effect but then the process continued and I thought it was restoring my data.  Am I in the tank?

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
