[BitPim-devel] Questions regarding support for LG VX-5400

[MBR <mb...@ar...>]

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?

Thanks for the testing and the feedback.
