Re: Fwd: How to figure out how to add support for another phone

Ringers:
Download doesn't seem to be picking up the right stuff. When I tried
uploading before I blew away the music player application. Had to go to the
store and have them perform a hard reset.
I just tried to upload a midi file. Haven't noticed anything busted on the
phone, but the additional ringer didn't show up. I assume it should have
been under 'pc sync'?

FYI, downloading "wallpaper" from the phone also retrieves video from the
phone's camcorder.

I'm most happy that the phonebook works. Thats the basic function that
should be provided for free or easily by all manufacturers. I don't
understand why they make it so secretive.

Another FYI, Sprint has an application called Sprint Music Store Backup
which specifically can upload mp3s to the phone and backup songs (with DRM)
that were purchased and reside on the phone. If they can do it... seems like
bitpim could do it too. Is there a way to trap the messages going across the
wire in software? Maybe it gives a clue how to access the filesystem.
