Markus, what's the status on the SMS delete with nk6510 driver?

Well, 8310 is supported by nk6510 driver which is maintained by Markus. As
you can see Markus uses Nokia 6510 for this but apparently the protocol
used is the same. Having Nokia 6310 I also provide some functionality to
this driver. Unfortunately Markus' phone is currently in the service and
I'm quite busy with other things (non-gnokii and gnokii API), so the
development has a bit slow down at the moment. Not for long I think.

Ah, this series has the broken idea of the PDU SMS format. We need to
workaround it in the driver I think. Thanks for spotting this.
