Ouch. The change in common/phones/nk6510.c disappeared somehow. Thanks
for noticing. Already commited.

The other way is to use simple:
model = 6233

General notice on all report below. Please read Docs/Bugs to see how
make a bug report useful.

This is kinda strange and something must have gone wrong.

That is correct. Or rather expected. With 0.6.15 announcement I warned
that it is impossible to write back all phonebook entries that can be
read from the phone. This is a known bug and I will work on it with
the next larger amount of free time.

Probably that's other error but keep in mind that xgnokii is no longer
actively developed or maintained.

See above.

Yes. Address subentries are these that cause problems. You can rip
them off and everything should go smoothly.

If you got any working software (eg. Nokia PC Suite) you could sniff
the communication while writing an entry with an address so we could
find out what is the correct frame to write it to the phone.

take care,
