Agreed.

So my message to the world would be: "SK6100: added basic read-only 
access to the phone book".

My immediate plans are to write a better packet description for reading 
the phonebook (I have some unknown fields that I kno are just part of 
the previous field, but I need to test that). Then I'll want to see what 
other info I can extract from the phone. My first priority is reading - 
for backup purposes. I don't buy ringtones anyway, so writing into the 
phone will wait a bit. I intend to announce this basic version on the 
local linux group so maybe someone who has this on a higher priority 
would jump on the bandwagon.
