What exactly do you want to do after connecting the phone to your
computer? Access files on the phone from your computer? USB mass storage
is a little out of fashion, unfortunately. You need some sort of MTP
(Media Transfer Protocol) in your file manager. Gnome supports MTP using
GVFS. KDE apparently needs kio-mtp:

Looks like it is only available in testing. People who use KDE might
know a better answer than using nautilus (or thunar).
