Trying to import this test data will be most interesting!  As well as
help to find outright bugs, it will force me to deal with several
issues.

1.  Calendar stuff Sanyo doesn't support:  daybitmaps, whatever they
are, exceptions, repeat codes (monfri).

Do I drop the entry altogether, or do my best to put it in the phone
somehow.

How do I notify the user what has been done?

2.  Calendar entry limits.  Sanyo supports 100 entries.

What to do if more than 100 dates in BitPim?  Take first 100.  (Present
behavior)  Sort by date and take first 100 after current date and then
take expired entries working backward from present time?

3.  Test behaviour with more than 300 names in phone book.

4.  Sanyo advertises 300 names, 500 total numbers in phone.  Each name
can hold 7 numbers.  300*7 = 2100 > 500.  What to do if trying to write
> 500 numbers, but less than 300 names?

The 500 number limit is from the Caller ID buffer in the phone.  The
present code will allow more than 500 numbers, but only put the first
500 numbers in the caller id buffer.  (The numbers are sorted by type,
first all the home phone numbers are written to the caller id buffer,
then all the work, mobile etc.)  But I have never actually written > 500
phone numbers to my phone.  With the test data I can find out if A) It
works, B) the phonebook on the phone is at all functional afterwards.
