Many have complained about this hole process.... When it reboots and reboots it is in crash mode..... these are some of the things you should NOT do....
1. Delete the software off your phone use itunes to remove it
2. If you remove the app off from your phone because you hate it remove it out of itunes before plugging your phone in and then sync..... step three how to remove it....
3. Leave your phone unplugged remove it out of your applications first then plug your phone in and sync it.... and DON'T TOUCH IT let it sync.... (I know... it takes forever so do this at night because if you get a call then you have to start all over again) To remove it out of your applications... it is the applications in itunes and not in your applications tab on your iphone while in itunes....
To fix the problem....
3. If your stuck at the apple logo hold down your home button and power until you see your screen go completely black... at this point it might cycle around again... keep trying it until it goes completely back.... once it goes black let go of your power button but keep holding the home button down and plug it into itunes.... then you should be able to see a connection to itunes and at that point you should be able to restore it to get it fixed.....
It may take you a few times to get this but it will work... as once the phone gets into that mode it is hard to get it out of it..... also you might have to reboot your system or reload itunes to get it to recognize the phone again...
4. If you don't want a app to install... plug your phone in... go to your applications tab uncheck it and apply...
I have noticed that when I have boughten an app once I get to my applications tab it is already checked and the only choice is to sync the phone at that time.... and I don't want to go through three hour process waiting for it to sync to install the software...
So once I buy an app... I go to my applications tab, look for the application which is always checked uncheck it and then recheck it and then I can click apply by doing it this way I don't have to wait to install the app and sync the phone.... It just installs the app itself.... If I have installed apps and want to make sure they are backed up I will wait and sync it in the middle of the night.....
I would not suggest removing a ton of apps at the same time.... as I have removed an app one time and the icon was still left on the phone... when I tapped it I was in big trouble. The best way around this is to keep control of what you are doing... don't go crazy when you are removing apps and installing them....

I also found this information on Mac Forums...No more "backup every time" or endless apple logo crashes!
1. Unplug your iPhone. If you're stuck at the logo, press the power/lock and home buttons at the same time. Hold them until the phone shuts off
2. Hold down the home button and plug in the sync cable while holding. Do not let go of the home button until the screen shows up with a cable connecting to iTunes on the phone
3. Press the button to recover your phone. Wait for the Recovery to finish and the phone to reset
4. Go into EDIT > PREFERENCES > SYNCING on iTunes. Delete all old backups that you feel comfortable deleting (I got rid of all of them). Also (*VERY IMPORTANT*), click the checkbox next to "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods".
5. Select the radio button to set your iPhone up as a new iPhone. Wait for activation.
6. Click to sync whatever you want on the Info, Ringtones, Photos, Podcasts, Music, and Movies tabs. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT NOT TO SYNC APPS.
7. Perform a sync, then eject the phone
8. Set up any config you want (email accounts, settings, ringtones, etc)
9. Plug the phone in and press the sync button (it will not autosync). When you do, it will sync and take a backup. This backup takes about 3 seconds.
10. Go to the Apps tab and select to sync ONLY clicked apps. Unclick all apps.
11. Add your apps one at a time, like so: click the checkbox next to one app, press sync (takes a small amount of time per app). Once the app is done installing per iTunes, look at your iPhone. You'll notice the little spinning internet indicator at the top left is still spinning. Wait until it is done!
12. Repeat step 11 until finished. Click the checkbox, press sync, wait, ONE APP AT A TIME. iTunes will not try to backup every time.
When you're done, eject your iPhone, move things around, do all your logins you have to redo since it crashed, etc. If you want to, plug the iPhone back in. It will not auto-sync since you turned that off. You can click on another app, click sync, and it syncs the new app WITHOUT a backup!
WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM SYNCING AN APP
If you try to sync an app (one at a time), and during the sync someone calls you or you get an error in iTunes saying the app had a problem, go to your Apps tab, UNCHECK the app you were just trying to sync, and press sync again. Allow it to de-install fully, then click the box and press sync again to try one more time.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PHONE STARTS TO LAG
I don't know if this is a good idea or if it is approved, but when I open a bunch of different programs, my phone starts to get slower and slower. I also notice that when you go into a program you've already opened, it's usually quicker than the previous time. So I'm not sure if this is like OSX, where closing an app doesn't free it up, only by right click closing does it truly close. So here's what I do:
Go into an app you've already exited. Instead of exiting again, hold down the Home button for about 6 seconds until the app disappears. That seems to cause it to truly close, and the phone will work faster on other things. Now as a disclaimer, you MIGHT be crashing the app...I don't know. But it seems to help.
