I had assumed this was already working. I had previously created 
brew/shared and brew/ringer in filesystem view. I'm surprised no one 
has complained about this before.

My personal preference would be that if full name is empty and nickname 
is NOT empty then nickname would be used. If both are empty then use 
first + middle + last. This would allow someone to just hand enter 
"Joe" into Nickname in BitPim and have his phone number listed that way 
in the phone.

Does this mean we are just abandoning the brew/shared directory for bmp 
and png wallpapers? I know there seems to be a 10 image limit there and 
other file size/color depth issues. I don't know much about this 
mms_image directory. I assume it is used when someone sends you a msg 
with a picture. You say they are jpgs and I guess you have figured out 
how to write the extra headers they have on the phone. Is there an 
image count limitation? If not, I guess this is a big advantage over 
the brew/shared dir.

Nice. The videos do indeed play on my Mac in Quicktime Player as AVI 
files. It will be nice if we can figure out how to incorporate the 
sound tracks found in  /nvm/camcoder[0,1]/vst_memo.
