BitPim is a program that allows you to view and manipulate data on many CDMA phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo and other manufacturers. This includes the PhoneBook, Calendar, WallPapers, RingTones (functionality varies by phone) and the Filesystem for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset based phones.

BitPim is an open source program designed specifically for managing content on CDMA devices. Most mobile phones using a Qualcomm-manufactured CDMA chipset are supported.
The program is also cross-platform, operating on the Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.

Although BitPim might be taken for a personal information manager (PIM), its name derives from “bitpym”, a suggestion generated by a pronouncable-password generator, the ‘y’ being replaced with an ‘i’ simply to eliminate ambiguity in pronunciation.
Earlier, the program had been named “Entrocul” by the same method.

Most of the functionality is obtained by using the diagnostics mode available in Qualcomm Mobile Station Modem (MSM) used by virtually every manufacturer of CDMA phones. The diagnostics mode provides direct access to the embedded filesystem in the phone. The remainder of the functionality is via protocols provided by the handset manufacturers

The following managing functions are currently supported by BitPim.

All functionalities vary on the model of the device:

* PhoneBook
* Calendar
* WallPapers
* RingTones
* Filesystem
* T9

Data can be imported and exported from various sources such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar.
