    Some will show up as USB mass storage (or at least let you access an
    attached sd card by that method). I've got a samsung which is locked
    down for that (and I don't want to have to root it), in which case you
    have to use MTP. For access in KDE I've got kio_mtp installed.
    simple-mtpfs works for me if I need command line access. The phone
    needs to be unlocked while accessing it.

Just be aware that MTP doesn't give you a "real" filesystem, e.g. IIRC there's no seeking and files cannot be modified in place or even directly overwritten, just read, written and deleted. simple_mtpfs does some caching to try to disguise this but it's useful to know.

Patrick, where does one get simple-mtpfs.
