Looks like Samsung used the same VID/PID for the Samsung SGH-A707 (AT&T
Sync).  Or maybe the USB device is actually in the cable and both these
phones use the same cable.

For the time being, until we push auto-probing into udev, you can
edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi and
change the section for the Sync to be:

      <!-- Samsung SGH-A707 (AT&T Sync) -->
      <match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x04e8">
        <match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x6601">
          <match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="0">
            <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append>
              <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">IS-707-A</append>
          </match>
        </match>
      </match>

The magic bit is removing the "GSM" lines and adding the "IS-707-A" line.
