For the first time user of bitpim the settings dialog is an uninituative
introduction to the program, this is why I wanted to make the change in the
first place. It does not make sense to ask the user to configure bitpim
manually any more the first time the program is run now that we have the
phone detection feature in bitpim.

The settings dialog should be a last resort when we cannot detect the phone
automatically, I don't think the detection should be moved from where it is
now except to not run it every time when we already know what the phone is
and there is an option to configure this.

The way it is working now is that for a user with a connected phone there is
no change to the startup (I removed the "phone detected popup" at your
suggestion) the detection is silent, If there is no phone they will get a
message saying that the phone is not detected, an early warning for the user
that there may be a problem. For the advanced user that does not want the
startup detection to run it can be disabled.

I wont get this last change in for Monday, however I did remove the option
to disable detection on phone connection. I put in a 3 second delay instead
(in the worker thread), I don't think this is noticable, the detection
sequence appears to run a bit faster as a result on my 8100 mitigating the
delay somewhat.
