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

official

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...

Confused i am

hi all
I am a bit confused ( dont take much these days) is the HTC TYTN II the Kaiser, as they look very similar and when i google it thats what i find..
also as anyone got one recently from t-mobile as i am due a upgrade and how much did they pay for it.
Cheers for the help
Neel

Yes the Kaiser was renamed the TyTN II. Not sure about your second question.

HTC Kaiser / HTC TyTn II / T-Mobile Vario III = all the same thing
(except the Vario looks cheap and nasty)

T-Mobile is a worldwide company and people from across that world read this forum. Which T-mobile are you talking about?

I'm referring to the UK variant.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you, but at the OP.

i am in the UK

As far as I know Kaiser is/was the name given by HTC during the development of the device. It is now sold as the HTC Tytn II. TMobile UK are selling/will be selling this as the MDAvario III. Vodaphone UK will also carry this device as V165 or something similar.All of these devices are manufactured by HTC. Most providers will have their own customised ROM installed. Currently we are unable to CID unlock these devices and so we are stuck with default provider ROMs. Eventually I am sure Pof or some other genius on here will work out how to CID unlock them and then the fun begins with our own customised ROMs.

Yep they are all Kaisers = generic name for all of them
TyTn II is the one sold under the HTC name and then as said above you have all the other variants as well.

Can I get a UK Kaiser to work in th USA

Hi
any help would be appreciated I have a UK Kaiser (TYTN II) that I am selling and a potential buyer wants to know if it will work in the USA can anyone answer this or tell me if there is a ROM or something that would be needed.
Thanks
Kat

You should be OK with the stock ROM; I've been using a UK Kaiser on the AT&T 3G network for over a year, running the factory WM 6.0 ROM.

If his network uses GSM/UMTS standards then yes.

Thanks for the help guys

You might need to Sim-unlock the phone though.

MDA - Diamond Touch 2

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
