[BitPim-devel] A possible way to get information of phones without having them available as a developer

[Thomas E. <Tho...@we...>]

Hi all,

thanks for your work. A suggestion on how to get information of a  
phone without having it at hand: On (the german site)

	http://www.novamedia.de/download/mac-phoneinspector-de.html

I found some (rough) idea which may be interesting: Do you have a  
fixed procedure of getting information out of a phone? Or do you think  
it kind of possible? In this case one may create it as a program which  
users can download and run on there computer/phone connected. The  
program can collect data and send it back to you (by agreement of the  
users). This way a user may contribute without the expense of loaning  
a phone.

But the problem will be, I guess, to create some standardized  
procedure of querying the necessary data "out of the phone".

In the case that you find the idea useful, I may also translate the  
above site into English if necessary. Bit it's not very infoarmative:  
It only describes this way to the user who doesn't find his phone in  
the sold sync-software's list of supported phones. So it's not my idea  
but theirs, I think. – And it's different (and therby easier) in the  
sense that the test program mainly tests if or how far the (new) phone  
is compatible to the sync services offered by their software.


All the best for you,

Thomas
