[BitPim-devel] detecting unsupported phones

[Simon C]

When a phone is not a supported phone the detect feature will report that no
phone is detected.

What do you think about changing this so that if an unknown brew phone is
detected it reports "Other CDMA Phone" instead.

That sounds reasonable.

Unless they are using a GSM phone :-)

Instead it may be possible to write a detection routine for 'Other CDMA
Phone' that just sees if Brew mode can be entered. However care would
need to be taken to ensure it is the very last one run.

Yes, I added a check for brew mode after all other tests returned negative,
it is a separate function that runs only if no phone is detected. It also
uses the results of the other phone's tests so it will not go out and probe
the ports again, I thought that could do weird things.
