As far as I can tell there is no AT command support for most Android 
phones at all. There is no AT over Bluetooth in HTC or Sony Ericsson 
phones, and a quick search makes it seem like this is the case for other 
brands also.

Great! I have an old Savannah account that I'll try to get reactivated. 
I'll clean up the code a little bit and add copyright headers before 
sending it to you. Should I use GPL v2 for the licence?
I'll also split the generic code from the Android-specific code, and use 
org.gnokii as base Java package names.
I've used Git for development so far, should I simply send the complete 
repository to you?
(I'm travelling for a few days now with limited computer access, so I'll 
have it ready next weekend at the earliest.)

The change I'm talking about is to add support for GN_OP_OnSMS to the 
Gnapplet driver, for which the Symbian Gnapplet will just report that 
the command isn't supported, as far as I can tell.
(Although I doubt that there is much use of the current Gnapplet, as I 
think the last phone with Symbian series 60 v2 was made in 2006 or so.)

How do you prefer to receive patches, should I send them to the mailing 
list, or should I set up a public cloned repository somewhere?
