More Information:
According to this post BREW 3.1 devices do NOT need to be test enabled to run applications. This process involves shipping the phone in to enable testing so you can load your applications on the phone. The vx9800 is BREW 3.1, but I can't remember where I read this.
And for the apploader, I found this interesting thread.
And here is some gcc compile options, although the gcc addons to compile for this arm7 proc are only available to paying developers.
I have come to the conclusion that unless we can get our hands on the gcc stuff Qualcomm provides for compilation that this is basically a lost cause. This is ridiculous, I buy the phone, but I can't do anything with it. So I'll be looking for a decent phone on a DIFFERENT provider which I have full access to. When are the corporations going to wake up and realise that screwing the consumer is NOT good? In fact, we see time and time again that letting people hack the hardware they purchased is GOOD for your bottom line.

which had some information, but I don't want to recompile ffmpeg, so my copy of ffmpeg did not have the AAC audio enabled so I found one which did. From there I ran:
# ffmpeg -i INFILE -acodec aac -vcodec h263 -s qcif -r 10 bla.3gp

If you need instructions on how to install bitpim in ubuntu:
Installing bitpim in Ubuntu
I have only so far verified bitpim works with:
1. Phone book entries
2. Wallpaper
3. Adding videos
1. You must have the bluetooth services started.
This includes hcid, sdpd, and rfcomm. On say Fedora Core 3, all you would have to do is run:
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
2. On your phone, under menu->settings and tools->pc connection, select bluetooth. Then go to the bluetooth menu which is menu->settings and tools->bluetooth and turn the power on. Also select My visibility and "shown to all". This will make your phone browseable for 3 minutes.
3. Find the mac address of your phone by running:
# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX LG VX9800
4. Pair the phone with your computer.
First create the connection to the phone, then request authentication:
# hcitool cc XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
# hcitool auth XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
5. Then you will need to find the channel of the "BT DIAG" service. Run:
# sdptool browse XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Browsing XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ... Service Name: OBEX Object Push Service RecHandle: 0x10000 Service Class ID List: "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 6 "OBEX" (0x0008) Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "OBEX Object Push" (0x1105) Version: 0x0100 Service Name: Voice Gateway Service RecHandle: 0x10001 Service Class ID List: "Headset Audio Gateway" (0x1112) "Generic Audio" (0x1203) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 3 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "Headset" (0x1108) Version: 0x0100 Service Name: Voice Gateway Service RecHandle: 0x10002 Service Class ID List: "Handfree Audio Gateway" (0x111f) "Generic Audio" (0x1203) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 4 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "Handsfree" (0x111e) Version: 0x0101 Service Name: BT DIAG Service RecHandle: 0x10003 Service Class ID List: "Serial Port" (0x1101) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 16 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "Serial Port" (0x1101) Service Name: Dial-Up Networking Gateway Service RecHandle: 0x10004 Service Class ID List: "Dialup Networking" (0x1103) Protocol Descriptor List: "L2CAP" (0x0100) "RFCOMM" (0x0003) Channel: 8 Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0x656e encoding: 0x6a base_offset: 0x100 Profile Descriptor List: "Dialup Networking" (0x1103) Version: 0x0100
You can see the BT DIAG is on Channel: 16
6. Now to make a serial device:
# rfcomm connect 0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 16
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX on channel 16
Press CTRL-C for hangup
Your done!
From here on, if you have bluetooth turned on and the bluetooth services enabled, just run the rfcomm command and you're good to go.

Great How-To. I got an error the first time I ran the rfcomm command but I ran it again and it worked fine, plugged to into into BitPim and I'm currently downloading all my phone settings. Thanks!

hi guy, i read your post. you're mad that "unless we can get our hands on the gcc stuff Qualcomm provides for compilation that this is basically a lost cause. ". but i think you don't realize all the stuff you need is readily available. you should search online BREW forums for gnude toolkit. lots of people use it and it works fine. so i think your rant is a little misguided? have fun!
hey you may even want to try this http://gluon.cesar.org.br/ which is a free BREW IDE based on eclipse. its supposed to integrate GNUDE just under the covers. anyway it's all there, just keep looking...

I got my V working in Ubuntu after multiple failed attempts to use hcitool. I was eventually able to just pair the device with my laptop using the Bluetooth Utilities for GNOME. I used my V to connect to my laptop and put in the pin first on the phone, which it then prompted me to enter on my laptop. After that, I went from step 5 on and it worked swimmingly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!!
