It is "overwrite" only.  This means it deletes all existing wallpapers/ringtones
when you do an upload.

This is a seperate issue I am trying to figure out.  As mentioned in an earlier
mail, I try to preserve index numbers (since the phonebook references them)
and the phone just does funky things.  I may just make 0.5 number them from
zero, and not bother with picture id in the phonebook (since it doesn't
display the picture anyway when someone calls).

If you can definitively figure out what is going on with the phone including
some sort of test case and how it should be fixed, that would be great.

I was absolutely astonished at how much effort the Gagin/Balpatch folks
had put in, but hadn't tried the more "obvious" approach of speaking
the protocol instead.

Bitpim includes a complete implementation of the Brew and Phonebook protocols.
The only thing that is left is a huge amount of user interface work.

I am also wondering if the next firmware upgrade for the phone will 
disable any of this ...
