Related to that is problem with new smartphones operating on MTP protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol and not over regular USB host.
Because of recently added fuse support in OpenBSD it may be possible to access at least files, music, video on those phones eg. via http://www.adebenham.com/mtpfs/ . But access to internal GSM modem is not provided anymore. Yeah, there's ability to create Wifi hotspot and share 2G/3G over that, but if one wants to use pppd and such for direct access or com for sheer fun.......
