This is all fixed in the next release which should be coming out in a few 
hours.  It will graciously cope with non-existent wallpaper and ringtone
directories.

That is the ordering that the phone reports them.  What I have found is that
if I write any entries at all over the cable then it starts alphebetizing
them in the display (even though I didn't write them in alphabetical order).

Can that actually edit the phonebook data?  I'd be very surprised unless the
firmware is almost identical.

Hopefully this shouldn't happen anymore.  I do try and send all the commands 
at all the baud rates to provoke the phone into answering.  The ONLY time you
should see an issue is if you request "Information" (renamed to "Version Information"
in 0.3) as that requires the phone to be back in modem mode.

As you found out, yes - very easily.
