Great!

I added the support the Sanyo 8100.  I actually only have a 4900, but it
seems that the 4900 and 8100 are pretty similar (except for the camera
of course!)  Have you tried BitPim on your phone yet?  Have you written
to the phone?  (I have a report of a 8100 owner reading the phonebook,
but have not heard if anyone has tried writing to the phone.  It should
work.)

I was going to work on improving general calendar support, but just
havn't time.  There is probably a lot of fun work there with syncing
calendars and reading/writing iCalendar/vCalendar files.

I can easily add fetching of the call logs into the BitPim calendar.
Roger:  Can you suggest a syntax for call history calendar entries so
that the  savecalendar routines for the various phones can know not to
try to write these call logs into phone event calendars?   Perhaps a
calendar entry type flag with possible values like
	event
	call_alarm
	missed_call
	outgoing_call
	incoming_call
	message
