Stephen, I've been working to add support to the Samsung SCH-A650 phones and I've been able to retrieve phonebook data from a phone to BP using AT commands. I'm working on saving data from BP back to the phone. I could post what I have so far if you think it could help you started going.

Next pass at modem mode commands.

Have you considered a slightly different approach. The consumer code would
print line # or do whatever
print line # or do whatever
# deal with error

Since my sendatcommand now reads and caches the entire response, this
probably makes sense now.

Do you think it OK for sendatcommand to prepend the "AT", or should it
always be called with the full command

I also have the feeling we will need some sort of format string that
will need to be passed to the line parsing code. The existing packet
description stuff could be used, or something new.

Probably. The types I have seen are integer, string (which is quoted),
date and timestamp. (The VGA1000 has a time stamp that is changed
whenever an entry is changed. However, the timestamp only seems to
exist if one has set the birthday for that entry.)

I'll will code up phonebook reading and do the parsing by hand so I can
get a feel for things. Then I'll have a better idea of what kind of
packet description stuff is needed.

Stephen

P.S. I would appreciate it if developers could test their favorite
(freshly rebooted) phone every time I update commport.py or
com_brew.py. The Samsung stuff should be orthogonal to most everything,
but I have switched over to using sendatcommand in com_brew to do the
prohibited phone (A700) check, so all phones will be exposed to
sendatcommand.

Yes I would like to see your code. Make sure that you agree to the
license that BitPim is copyrighted with (GPL), before you send any code.

You might want to look at bitpim/examples/samsungnotes.txt which has
some notes about various Samsung phones. If you would like to add some
notes about your phone, I would happy to add them to those notes.

What carrier is the A650 used with?

Stephen
