It might be something worth looking into. > Actually, I was saying that I like the idea of having multiple phonebooks for the various phones, each independent of the other. For example, one household may have three phones: Mom, Dad, and Junior. Mom and Dad have the same type of phone (say Model A), whereas Junior has a different one (Model B). In this case, Mom and Dad need different phone books (maybe with the possibility of cutting and pasting from the other's phonebook). However, based upon what I see within BitPim, since they share the same model of phone, BitPim will merge the two phonebooks, not to mention, the wallpaper and ringtones. Junior comes along with his phone, and again, all the numbers merge (again, based upon my experience with the VX4400 and VX4650). Having one phonebook which can handle multiple phones may be very difficult at best (how do you differentiate between phones of the same model), whereas, keeping separate files completely may be the easier option. BTW, I'm not saying this needs immediate attention. I think we need to get BitPim stable given its current functions, and then release it as a stable release. We can work on this afterwards.
