Re: Developer wanted

Roger,
  The intent of this project has nothing to do with games, and it is
perfectly legal.  I can't give you the details of the project without an
NDA, but we need to be able to write PRL information to the phone, which we
already have.  Do you think it is possible to do this with bitpim?  There is
software out there, such as QPST that can perform the task, but we'd perfer
to create a more universal solution.

Thanks,

Dan
