Yes, I know about it. But I don't want to introduce another global variables
in the phone drivers. It won't help the multiple phone support in the future
:-)  The better solution is to extend the GSM_Statemachine (or GSM_Phone -
it isn't important) to include phone _instance_ and model specific data.
We can store this info there. But the major problem is that the incoming
functions cannot get the state structure. We should modify _all_ of the
incoming function to get GSM_Statemachine *state as an argument.
