I'm not sure I understand this, so let me re-state.
When you go a getphonebook, as part of the response, you get the entry number
(entrynumber), which I don't see the code stores in anywhere. When you need to
rewrite a modified entry, I take it that the phone will ignore whatever entry
number you put in the request and use the serial number as the key? For a
brand new entry, the serial should be automatically created, but the entry
number was filled in by an incremental counter - can anyone explain how BREW
handles it when you send a pbappendentryrequest? I know eventually I will
destroy my spare phone testing this, just wanted to know what to expect

Also, is the speed dial being kept at all? I don't see the code for VX4400
doing that currently and I assume you lose your speed dial or is that not
the case?

PS: next up, the LG4600 (VX4600 down in the states), once I justify paying
over $70USD for a data cable which it cost only $30USD (all the taxes, duties,
and shipping handling created a 100%+ overhead). I believe the LG4600 has
very similar phonebook structure, and I know the ringtone/wallpaper handling
already (at least I think I know).
