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

hi i just bought a tmobile mda off of ebay and plan to get it in a few days. I know it is a couple years old and still has WM5, other then upgradeing to WM6, what else should I do to my new wizard? Also, does anyone know if the iphone interface works well, if so how do i get it on my mda?
I'm using TyTN II (Sold in Europe by T-Mobile as MDA Vario) running on WM6 Professional.

If you have a T-Mobile phone, why don't you download the update from the t-mobile site?
(and remember it's a one way upgrade, no turning back... I wished that i didn't upgrade my phone because it is much slower)
But T-mobile site no more provide support to this model!
Anyone to help?!
Please excuse if this is a repeated question. Kindly help!

Yes of-course you can
Take a look at the sticky threads in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 they contain everything you need to know.
Your hardest decision will be what ROM to choose (there are so many).
Perhaps someone can recommend one - I'm personally using duttys 3.6b.
Good luck, Steve.
Already flashed
OK, when i switch on the phone it says Touch Diamond even thoguh it should be an MDA compact IV from T-Mobile, does this mean it already has the HardSPL? and tha it has already been flashed with a different rom?
Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a T-mobile wing, but i am signed up for at&t. Whoops... Just wondering, is this possible? Will the same features be if i unlock it? Thanks. - DhaMajor
wing and wingS is two different device, if you have a wing, refer to the specific subforum
(t mo wing is a touchscreen ppc, instead the wings is a smartphone, with wm standard and without touchscreen)
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
