Nice work on figuring out how to read the filesystem.  If you can figure out
a patch along the lines of Roger's suggestion, I'll test it out with other
phones and check it into the CVS if it doesn't break other phones.

In the mean time you can try to see if the calendar is accessible through AT
commands.  AT#PISHR=n is a command that works on many Samsung phones.  Aaron
S was planning to loop through possible AT#P.... commands to see what works,
but I havn't heard results of that yet.  But he did indicate that many of
the AT commands mentioned in dev-doc/samsungnotes.txt don't work.

The other thing to do is try to identify the file system files with calendar
information.  Most phones have calendar information available in file system
files, but the problem is usually that the files or directories they are in
are locked for writing.

Perhaps we should be using Bluetooth protocols, which I know nothing about.

To use the analyzer that Roger speaks of, select some lines in the protocol
log and type Ctrl-Alt-P.  To analyze protocol logs saved to a file do:

python analyser.py file

With the later, you can edit .p files (run python protogen.py to compile the
.p files), and then use the analyzer to see how your updated definitions
work.
