I still don't understand the relevance.  The encoding is a property of the
phone.  I haven't come across any that let you change their encoding.
The phone model specific code should detect and use the phone encoding.
Since all phones are fixed, that isn't particularly hard nor does it need
to be exposed to the user.

The actual data in BitPim is stored in Unicode.  Consequently the phone
model specific code must convert into and out of unicode.  This is something
that isn't user visible.

Something I would like is a convertor from unicode that can munge characters
correctly such as changing an ể with an accent into an 'e'.  The main Python
convertors just drop the character completely.
