Hello and welcome to community! For future reference, saying an error message is "could not install or something along those lines" is not really helpful. To figure out what the problem is, we really need to know that the exact error message is.

Create a .install file containing this:

Code:
[install]
catalogues = nokia-ovi-store
package   = angrybirds

[nokia-ovi-store]
id = ovi
file=variant-catalogues
Then when you do just run that...

Sounds like its probably just the Ovi website. Ive had downloads fail from it a few times in the past. I would suggest reporting it to them and then waiting patiently................

meamo 5 might also need an update, pr1.3 is the current version

No, easiest way is to create a txt file on your computer then change the file extention to .install and have that code written in there..

Here, I made it easier for you click on this: http://dl.farahfa.com/angrybirds.install

While I have the same issue as the OP - namely that the Ovi Store link tells me to update my device (which is up to date on PR1.3), I was able to install Angry Birds by creating the .install file (note I created it in vi, not realising that someone had put a link to the file, doh!)

Thanks
