How to update IPhone 4 to IOS 5 ?

Hello teams,
I tried to update my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3) to iOS 5 and it seems I lost everything after the update. (calendar, notes, contacts, sms history, photos and music).
I hope you can help me to retrieve my data.
Here is what I did :
Started iTunes, connected my iPhone.
I observed an informal pop up telling that a new update was available for iPhone (iOS 5).
I clicked on "Yes" to execute the update and the downloading process started.
iTunes asked to update purchased items from iTunes first. I accepted and I waited until iTunes finished the downloading process of purchased items.
Then, in ITunes interface, I clicked on the Update button from iPhone window to re-start the update process. I clicked -again- on "Yes" to execute the update and the downloading process started -again-.
When the backup process finished successfully, the update to iOS 5 started.
After 15 min, the iPhone needed some answers to setup questions (location service, ...).
Then, I choose to restore from iTunes (option number 3) and the restore process started.
     After 3 hours, I observed:
On iTunes, the non-closable pop-up with the green progress meter was flashing on 50% telling that 9 hours were still remaining. (note that this time estimation has been changing during all the download time).
On iPhone, the restoring process with the battery picture was 100%.
Because I suspected it was too long, I decided to stop and disconnect the USB cable.
The iPhone restarted and re launched the set up process with questions (location service, ...).
This time, I choose to set up the iPhone as new (option number 1) and the installation finished.
Now, I have a fresh new iPhone, without any of my data. (calendar, notes, contacts, sms history, photos and music).
If I connect the iPhone (with iOS 5) on ITunes, it starts the backup... I don't want to erase my previous backup.
How can I transfer all my data (from my iPhone before the update) to my iPhone (with iOS5) ?
Sorry for the long post, I hope it will help other people facing the same situation.
Thank you a lot for your answers.
Michel

If it is an officially unlocked iPhone, you can use any supported SIM.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

    If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.
