Thank you for providing details that can help us answer properly.
Please note that 5.0 is available for the 8330, but it is a beta or "leaked" OS meaning it has not been officially released by RIM so we cannot give you a link.
I can give you a link to CB where there is a lengthy discussion of what works, what doesn't. bugs that have been seen, etc. I believe that thread also has a link you will be able to find the download through.
You can always use Google and a search term like "Curve 8330 os5.0 download" and you will find a great deal of information.
BTW....from what I have seen the 5.0 OS still has a way to go before it will be ready for general release. There seems to be a real severe memory leak issue. Also keep in mind....SINCE IT IS A BETA OS YOU DO RUN THE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR CURVE. If you are not experienced with upgrading and downgrading OS versions and with how to restore a dead BB using JL_Cmdr, then you better think hard before you try this.
With that caution, here is the link I mentioned.
Good luck....
