BitPim For Linux

BitPim is a program that allows you to view and manipulate data on many CDMA phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo and other manufacturers.

BitPim includes the PhoneBook, Calendar, WallPapers, RingTones (functionality varies by phone) and the Filesystem for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset based phones.

You need a cell phone that BitPim can talk to (details).

You will need a cable that plugs into your computer and into the cellphone. The page for your cell phone lists details of the cables.

If you use Windows, a driver is required for your cable. The driver should be supplied by the supplier/manufacturer of the cable. Drivers may also be available online from the manufacturer of the cable or the phone. The "section" of the help pages for your phone may have pointers to these drivers. Mac OS X and most recent Linux distributions include the drivers, if required.

BitPim is a Python-based app that allows you to view and manipulate data on LG VX4400/VX6000 as well as many Sanyo Sprint cell phones. This includes the PhoneBook, Calendar, WallPapers, RingTones (functionality varies by phone), and the embedded Filesystem for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset-based phones (expert users).
