how do you update iphone 3g to ios 5?

I just restored my iphone 3G in the process of updating from 4.2.1 to ios 5. After restor it didn't ask to update to ios 5, it asked to set up as new iphone or sync what was backed up. Do I need to set up as new iphone in order to update to version 5?

iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2

My iphone 3 does. I plugged it in to itunes for updating and IOS 5.0.1 downloaded onto phone. I messed up a lot of stuff on phone though and I am slowly getting it back to normal. Still have problem with when I end phone call a voicemal box pops up saying incorrect password for voice mail. Not sure how to get rid of that.
