As long as the phone responds to AT+GCAP with "IS-707" the probe will
tag the phone as a CDMA device and you should be able to use it with a
CDMA connection like any normal data card or USB-attached CDMA phone.
NM shouldn't be confused by the mis-tagged HAL entry in the linked
dialup-bluetooth.py because it prefers the probed capabilities over
static ones in HAL.
