Hi,
I read on the microsoft mobile site that Mobile 5 is not compatible with phones that uses mobile 2003. See this page:

That's normally true but...when M$ were developing WM5 they tested it on a couple of PDAs including the Blue Angel. While not officially released by M$ - it has leaked out and you can use it at your own risk. One of the developers of WM5 has a blog where all this is explained. See here: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/10/19/482683.aspx

WM5 on the Blue Angel is Dog Food. Read the blog and you will understand.
