[Bitpim-devel] Model specific help needed

[Roger B. <ro...@ro...>]

If you own one of the phone models listed below and would like
to help BitPim better support your phone, then please read-on.

You will need to have time to dedicate to this.  You will need
to be run the developer version of BitPim.  The details to get
up and going are at http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/developer.html

You should be somewhat midly technical.  In particular, you should
be able to find your way around the protocol analyser.  (Turn
on protocol logging, do something, then press Ctrl-Alt-P in
the protocol log pane).

The expected method of progress is that a developer will make
some changes, you do a cvs update and check to see if they
work correctly.  You may need to look in the protocol analyser
to see if the various fields are being decoded properly and are
the right size.  Provide the feedback and repeat the loop.
You may need to do things like create dummy phonebook entries
and look at how they are being decoded, or add and remove
ringtones, wallpaper and calendar entries.

If noone steps forward for you model of phone, then progress
will be very slow or non-existent.  Having more than one person 
will be really great since that way we can better verify the code
works correctly (having a sample of only one phone isn't too
goood a test).
