I had the same problem when trying to register for this list.

Ah.  Excellent the pictures downloaded fine, although it was quite
slow.  Is that because the phone is slow or could there have been
another problem?

It seemed like the numbers at the bottom (receiving X/Y) weren't
correct.  The second number was often 0 or some other non-apparent
#.  I didn't look at the source to see what it was supposed to
be displaying.  If I get a chance I'll try to look at it.

Well, you all have done such a good job, I don't think there are any. :-)

Downloading pictures and the address book are the biggest.  Uploading
the address book would probably be nice too.  I haven't tried that yet.

I suppose the biggest feature would be more doc.  Maybe I'll try to do
some.  My biggest problem was with getting USB setup.  This was on a
gentoo system.  Also, it was some work to get all the dependencies
installed.

None were that big of a deal, they just could have been easier.
I will probably get bitpim going on a different box, probably gentoo.
I'll try to keep some notes.

Yup, I looked at some of the code already.  It looked like it was in
pretty good shape.  There were a few changes I made.  I had to comment
out EPYDOC in c.sh for it to work.  Also the comment in p_sanyo8200.p
refers to the Sanyo SCP-5500, rather than the PM-8200.

I ran pychecker on some of the files and found a few potential problems:

com_lgtm520.py:402: Variable (dummy) used before being set
com_lgtm520.py:484: Object (index) has no attribute (append)
com_lgtm520.py:495: Function returns a value and also implicitly returns None
com_lgtm520.py:649: No global (speedial) found

comscan.py:56: Imported module (time) not used

database.py:13: Imported module (copy) not used
database.py:54: Passing a constant string to getattr, consider direct reference
