Gammu Phone Database grew into quite big size and there were quite
a lot of duplicate or poor quality records. So I today decided to do
some cleanup of data inside it. First step was figuring out duplicates.
There were quite a lot of them and I could remove about 50 records
without loosing information about any phone.
The quality issue is always harder. Some empty records really did not
make a sense, so they're gone now. However some users really don't
understand what some features mean, so there were quite a lot of phones
being reported to support MMS and I'm pretty sure there is no code in
Gammu for it :-). I went through their list and dropped almost half
of phones there. Some records might have been useful in other way, but I
can not verify what all was wrong with them.
Maybe I should add some basic checks when adding new entry to check such
errors as MMS support for AT connection.
