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.

WM2005 won't work on Blue Angel ( Imate Pda2k,Qtek 9090 etc) don't try to upgrade it...
Damnit people. Stop making these topics!!!
There is no Windows Mobile 5.0 available for the Blue Angel device at this point. Stop asking.
If/when someone comes across a version, then MAYBE you can get it. Until then, seriously, forget about Windows Mobile 5.

You have downloaded it from the Microsoft website?
Well, yea I did. But now it sounds that there is no official 6.1 update for some phones. I don't know, im new to this stuff.
Mh, there is no choice for a download from microsoft. Are you sure you download an update to Windows Mobile 6.1 and NOT to Windows OFFICE Mobile 6.1?
Like here: Microsoft Office Mobile 6.1: Upgrade
Later there will be an update also for the HTC touch but not now...
Hey, what you've downloaded is a smartphone edition. Your HTC Touch requires a Touch-screen version, which is known as the 'Professional' edition eg. WM 6.1 Professional. You should go to the 'Elf' section in this forum instead of this. This section is for users who do not possess a HTC-built Windows Mobile devices.

so an HTC touch is not made by HTC?
=p
no, this section. its in general discussion and is called unlocking modifying and upgrading. its for like dell, asus and other makers who arent htc, but need somewhere to mode and post their roms. i wold head here if i were you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366424
and if your touch has 128mb ram, its called an elfin, and if it has 64, its called an elf. its very important u dont get them mixed up.
the amount of ram you have can be found by going to settings, then the system tab then device information
Hope ive helped
