Many of the later smartphones don't present as USB disks, supposedly on 
the grounds of safety. Instead they talk MTP (media transport protocol). 
I've never used it myself, but Wikipedia says Gnome's GVFS supports it, 
as does KDE's KIO slave. Going the FUSE route you might look at 
sysutils/fusefs-simple-mtpfs or sysutils/mtpfs. If you want a standalone 
program take a look at audio/gmtp.
