That's exactly what the ID card of my phone says (underneath the phone's
battery).
At the phone end, when I plug in the USB cable, I am presented with a choice
between charging the phone's battery or doing a USB transfer. The phone
continues to present itself for access when I try everything I can think of
with the terminal to find out where in /dev/ the blasted thing is located ...
dmesg seems to be telling me it's in several places at once while the error
messages tell me that the mount command isn't finding anything at those
places.
The USB card adapter has no trouble whatsoever mounting & moving files in &
out of the card with linux.
