CentOS - Dec 2009 - Samsung M800

I have a Samsung M800 phone that I had (wrongly) assumed would show up
as a USB drive on Linux so I can transfer files to it and so on.

Instead, it appears to present itself as a modem.  Is there any way to
make it appear as a usb drive?

my (motorola em325) phone can be configured as modem or mass storage device.
if your phone has this option, just choose mass storage device.

I wish it did have that option.  Unfortunately, if it does it's so well
hidden that I can't find it.

I just called my cellphone service provider (who I got the phone from)
and asked their tech support how to switch it from modem to mass storage
mode (without saying anything about using Linux).  Their response was
that they don't provide help with that kind of thing and I should search
the Internet for more information.
