Thanks for the tip, Stephen.  I'll let you know if it works out.  At
this point, I haven't been able to get any two phones to behave
consistently.

I'm able to send the firmwarerequest (0x00) to some phones, and the
sanyofirmwarerequest (0xFA, 0x00, 0x00) to other phones, and get their
respective packets.  I have still other models (like the SCP-2400) that
won't seem to accept either command.  It looks like I'm going to need to
work up and maintain a model-map so I know how to query each phone --
unless I come up with something clever.

Once I've figured out how to talk consistently to each of my models,
I'll see if I can't turn around and help add bitpim support for any of
them that arent supported yet.  That'll be a worthy challenge, as
Python is completely alien to me.
