Well, I'm going to guess that it's because the phone you have is CDMA based, not GSM (you have a Harrier, not quite a blue angel).
More than likely, the hooks into the OS from the radio stack are very different between GSM and CDMA, and since it appears that the only ROM's anyone was able to get a hold of for WM5 were for the GSM version of the phone, no one was able to build anything for the Harrier.
IIRC, the main reason there is even a WM5 for the Blue Angel is that someone got a hold of a ROM dump from a development Blue Angel running WM5.
Your MDA II (Himalaya) is GSM. Most of the rest of the world uses GSM, so those ROM's are the most common.
That's my theory.
You can upgrade your device with WM5 only if you have rom specific created for it, but as far as i know there is no such rom outside microsoft labs
i'm just wondering, has anybody confirmed any official updates to wm6? i found an update on t-mobile USA's website for the MDA but i'm not sure if its wm6 or if its just something like aku2.3.
can anybody confirm for me? i was on the same site that t-mobile is posting the dash wm6 update to if that makes a difference.

No it is not a WM6 upgrade...
There will be no official WM6 update from T-Mobile for the MDA. T-Mobile USA no longer sells the MDA. It will be replaced by the HTC Hearld on May 25. Of course T-Mobile will sell it under a different name...

Does anyone know when the Kaiser is going to be released on one of the UK networks as a subsidized device? My old Magician is getting REALLY long in the tooth now, and I can't afford £480 right now...
Scancom have it as pre-order for Orange Business, but doesn't give any dates...
I can't afford £480 either, but i just ordered one last night lol
I think it should be available on T-Mobile by the end of the month maybe? (As the MDA Vario III i'd imagine).
I'd hazard a guess that it'll be out on Orange maybe by the end of the year?
Problem is the design of the MDA Vario III looks really ugly (tacky silver finish) compared to HTC's original version of the Tytn II

Another reason why i chose the HTC over the T-Mobile variant
Well, it looks like Vodaphone and O2 UK have WM6.1 updates out there, but none as yet from T-Mobile.
Anyone with insider info know if T-Mobile is going to release a WM6.1 ROM update?
About 5 hours after AT&T releases it.
I asked T-Mobile UK, and they said there is no date for this update, and no guarantee that the Vario III will get a w6.1 update.
Great.
Just Great.
Thanks a lot.

I asked 5 days after it was released (via email) and they didnt even know it had been released
Probably just the 1st line desk ... who probably dont know jack.
Great.

Yup, t-mobile support seems to be getting worse via the year
Give them a month or two and they'll announce the Vario IV
way before they announce the 6.1 rom
Why don't you user the original HTC rom? I use it since about 1 month and i have no problems!
Hi
I bought a MDA / diamond touch 2 off ebay locked to t mobile, i had it unlocked today but found out 3g wont work because tmobile have specific locked network settings! I'm nervous to flash the rom because its a MDA and no roms are listed for it, anyone know what if any roms and radio I should use to get t mobile out and o2 in?
Thanks
you'd probably better post this question in the right forum, you have a 'Topaz' (that's what the Diamond2 in here is called);
You posted in Diamond1 forum which is a different device....yours is alot newer
