I have just added a read only mode to BitPim. This is for people who want to be cautious. It disables all means (I can think of :-) for writing to the phones. That includes high level stuff like removing the various menu items that lead to writing, as well as pointing all methods and objects that can do writing to something that raises an exception. In theory we can now tell people to turn this on if they are concerned about unintentionally (or intentionally) writing to their phone. I guess the first beneficiaries would be Audiovox CDM8900 users. It also requires restarting BitPim to exit read only mode. No restart is needed to enter the mode. In the code, this is actually called safe mode. The ApplySafeMode method in the main application object can be further extended if you have any code that may be "unsafe".
