No, that is a bad idea.  The speed dial field is used for storing the speed
dial. Remember that BitPim can work with multiple phones concurrently.

The phonebook format in BitPim is designed to work with that.  See the top
of phonebook.py.  In particular numbers are ordered, and hence the first
one is the default.  The 4400/6000 store 5 numbers in priority order,
with another 5 bytes storing each number type.

Run the analyser on examples\vx4400phonebookupdate.txt to see how the
code works.
