That only works for the LG phones since each one has a unique page.
Other manufacturers just have everything in one set of pages for all models.

I certainly think it is worth the effort to update phones/__init__.py to
add a field with a reference to a help file.  That information can then
be used for the menu item you suggest, a tree item as well as the phone
wizard.

I also think there should be a requirement for that field which means
you won't have to deal with the greyed out case, but may have to
reference a generic page (eg "sanyo") instead of a model specific page
(eg "sanyo 1234").
