You can use whichever ones you want for the work.

What is needed is correctly decoding the phonebook.  The simplest
thing to do is to tell BitPim to get your phonebook, and then
look in the analyser to see what the first entry returned is.
On your phone, change that entry so that every field is filled
in to its maximum length.  I usually do things like e1e1e1e1e1e...
for first email address, 11111... for first phone number, memomemo
for memo etc.

(You will probably want to have create a new entry with the original
phonebook entry details).

Then with the now updated first entry, read the phonebook again
and look in the protocol analyser.

The fields are defined in p_lgvx4500.p.  You may need to change
sizes and other stuff.  You can rebuild the Python code by
running 'python protogen.py p_lgvx4500.p p_lgvx4500.py'

Then check your work.

Email your updated p_lgvx4500.p file, as well as the relevant
packet from the protocol dump to this list.
