I had iOS4.3 before i restored it now i have got ios 4.2.1 which i never had before? how do i get it back to my normal one? 4.

I decided to restore my iPod touch 3G as i thought it might refresh it to get the iOS 5 as i really want it. Before i restored it i had iOs 4.3 which i have always had on my iPod. After restoring my iPod it went back to its factory conditions and i got iOS 4.2.1 which i have never had before? how can i get it back to my normal one or how can i get iOS 5 as on the apple website nothing is telling me to how to download it? can i please get some feed back so i know what to do.
Also the touchscreen isnt intime as quick as it used to be after I restored it, This is quite annoying whist im playing a game on my iPod. Thanks:)

Are you sure you really have a 3G iPod?  A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1.  When you restore an iPOd wyou will get the latest iOS.
You need iTunes 10.5.X for iOS 5.
If your iPod is a 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G iPod.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either.  To tell a 2G fom a 3G ypy need to know the model numbe engraved on the back see:
