Can't update software on my new curve 8520!

i got a new curve 8520 from phones4u the other day and the software is 4.6.314 but i would like to upgrade to 5 but on the desktop software it says no updates avaiable and also on wireless updates just wondering if it could be the sim card i got it in the phone or either its just the phone playing up? could someone help me please.

First, in order to update to OS 5 you'll need a sim card with a valid data plan.  Once you get that then you can update to OS 5 by following the instructions below:

If you're brave, you can wipe the device with JL_Cmder and then load the OS 5 using the above instructions without a data plan.

    I can't update my apps, download new ones

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    Hey Guys,
    How can I update software on an old iPod touch? I currently cant download any apps etc as im too out of date ;-(
    Thanks for your help ;-) 

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    If it was legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was previously locked to, yes. If it was unlocked by a 3rd party, it was 'hacked' and will revert to being locked if you update or restore.
