I assume you also set it to com port (menu - 8 - 6 -2 should be
RS232).

The actual communications is done in the background thread.  The gui won't
do anything until that returns the data (or an exception).

This is what you should see doing 'Get Information' with my comments in []

com2: Connecting to port com2, 115200 baud, timeout 2.000000, hardwareflow 0
[The above is printed before trying to make an instance of a Serial object
from serial module (part of pySerial).  NB you need pySerial installed for
this to work :-]
com2: Connection suceeded
[The above is from after the object is instantiated]
LG-VX4400: Phone initialised
[The above is printed after the object for talking to the 4400 is instantiated.
No actual communication has happened yet]
LG-VX4400: Manufacturer is LG Electronics Inc.
LG-VX4400: Model is LGE-TM540C 77
LG-VX4400: Software is S/W VER: ND2.1.754PAT TC4VZV04 
[These last three are the results of sending AT style modem commands]

Nope.

> Or, can you suggest a simple test to verify the connection?

Reset the phone (menu 8,6,2 to RS232).  Set the baud rate to any
value you want.  Start up any terminal style program you have that
can talk on serial ports (on Windows, HyperTerminal does the trick).
Type 'AT' and press return.  You should see it echoed back at you.
Type 'AT+GMI' and you should see something about LG.

Until the above test also works, there is no hope of Bitpim working.
