Re: Questions regarding support for LG VX-5400

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

I just found the page at http://www.bitpim.org/help/versionhistory.htm, 
which shows the following:

    LG VX-5400

        Ver. 1.0.3    New phone support
        Ver. 1.0.4   Bug fix: display wrong caller ID number.

    LG VX-8610

        Ver. 1.0.6   New Phone support

Your email was explicit that I should use "the most recent test build of 
Bitpim," which would be Release 1.0.7.20081215, but the change list for 
that release at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738 
<http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738>,  
doesn't mention any changes that would affect either the LG VX-5400 or 
the LG VX-8610.

Are there changes relevant to the 8610 or the 5400 that aren't listed at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738 
<http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=75211&release_id=648738>?  


If not, wouldn't I be better off using the stable version (1.0.6) rather 
than the test version (1.0.7.20081215)?
