The fact the device is recognized as a modem and does not detect the µSD
card on it usually means that you need to make an additional step to
configure the phone, but IIRC, most of these devices need to be put as
what it is call "USB Mass Storage" and not as "modem" nor for "syncing"
options which allow another features.
I would investigate this further by reading the mobile phone's manual :-?
