bitpim and the vx6100

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I just picked up the vx6100 and the future dial data cable. I
was hoing to transfer the phonebook from my vx 4400 to my 6100.
But all I get are error messages. I set the caomputer to com 5
and the phone to com 5 and also tried the auto detect feature in
bitpim version 0.7.15. First I got no port detected errors then
I got something about an error occured from none to brew,
whatever that means.
What version bitpim should I use for win xp and the vx6100.
Will bitpim work with the 6100 phone?
I just noticed the package for the data cable says for model
vx6000. do I need a different cable for the 6100?
I remember having trouble setting it up for the vx4400 phone do
you have any suggestions that would help now.
Thanks for the help.

When they upgrade the bios they put your phonebook back on correct? They did
this with mine and I had the same results. What happens is the program the
use to upload the phone numbers and names corrupts the phonebook and bitpim
will not work. What I did was print everything out and reset the phone and
redo everything through bitpim and it works fine now.

I think i got the wrong cable. Went to rat shck and took what
the guy gave me. It was the cable for the vx6000. According to
hte bitpim help file I should get the cable for the vx7000.
I'll have to look for a store that has it. I would like to
check it out before I buy it. How is that rpi web site? Good
customer service?
