I just looked for the LG VX-5400 in the navigation tree at http://www.bitpim.org/help, and couldn't find it listed. But a series of emails in this group from 11/18/2007 (Subject: Newly released VX5400 appears to be similar to Bitpim's LG-VX8550) through 1/7/2008 (Subject: VX5400 /pim/pbnumber.dat caller-id lookup problem) seem to indicate that work was being done on this model, and that it was similar to the VX-8550. http://www.bitpim.org/help warns: *My phone is not in the list* You should select your exact phone in the list, ... Picking "similar" phones means you are experimenting and could end up with problems such as your phone locking up with a worst case of it becoming completely inoperable. So I don't want to try a similar but not identical model number. And I don't know what to infer from the fact that neither the LG VX-5400 nor the LG VX-8550 is listed at http://www.bitpim.org/help. It could mean that the development discussed in the aforementioned series of emails was abandoned because someone decided the phone simply couldn't be properly supported. Or it could mean that those models are supported but nobody ever got around to writing the documentation. Does anyone know whether I can safely use BitPim with an LG VX-5400? If so, does it know the phone by that name, by the name VX-8550, or what?

The 8610 and 5400 are both supported by the most recent test build of Bitpim. If the phones support a bluetooth connection, then you should probably be able to connect to them.

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I just found the page at http://www.bitpim.org/help/versionhistory.htm, which shows the following: LG VX-5400 Ver. 1.0.3 New phone support Ver. 1.0.4 Bug fix: display wrong caller ID number. LG VX-8610 Ver. 1.0.6 New Phone support Your email was explicit that I should use "the most recent test build of Bitpim," which would be Release 1.0.7.20081215, but the change list for that release at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738 <http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738>, doesn't mention any changes that would affect either the LG VX-5400 or the LG VX-8610. Are there changes relevant to the 8610 or the 5400 that aren't listed at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738 <http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738>? If not, wouldn't I be better off using the stable version (1.0.6) rather than the test version (1.0.7.20081215)?
