There may still be a problem.  If the same model is
supported twice but with different carriers, then
the key won't be unique (imagine a vx4400 on vzw and
sprint).  You can fix that by changing the structure
from a dict into a list and then constructing a dict
from the list when you add the carrier names.

There is also a problem with the file selection dialog.
The columns should be forced to be wider.  On Mac they
are undreadable.

The screenshot also demonstrates another problem.  I
happen to know my VX4400 is on Verizon Wireless but
selecting them as a carrier first means I can't find
the phone!  I think you'll need to do something like
consider phones that have no carrier listed as being
with all carriers.  It may also be a good idea to
change the 'carrier' key in the data structure to
be a list.  That way we could list the carriers for
each model that we know work. 

I also don't see the distinction between unknown and
other as carriers or handset manufacturers.
