Re: [Bitpim-devel] LG phonebook sync question - keeping original entry number

[A F <eat...@ho...>]

Hi Chris,

I'm already looking at the 4600, and already have a cable.  Perhaps it would
be better if we were to work together rather than have you purchase another
cable and work independently?

I'll email you everything I've mapped out already over the weekend.

Anthony
