Phonebook

This tab works a lot like a spreadsheet. Simply click on a cell to edit it. You can add or remove lines by clicking on the toolbar buttons, or choosing Add or Delete from the Edit menu. You may need to make a column wider in order to fit your whole value in (yet another reason to replace this thing!)

Notes

This is very crude at the moment, but works. It will be replaced with something far more user friendly in future releases.

If you enter any punctuation in phone numbers (eg (555) 555-5555) then the puncuation is stripped when sent to most phones, as they do not store the punctuation.

BitPim updates the list of groups used in phonebook entries each time you ask it to read from the phone. If you edit the list of groups on the phone, you will need to reread the phonebook into BitPim for it to know about those new/changed groups.

Known Issues

If you try to select multiple entries for deletion in the phonebook, make sure you do it using the control key. Using the shift key will highlight the rows, but does not report them as selected to the code.
