NetworkManager probes the devices because the HAL file is not flexible
enough (since it's usb-based, and some vendors use the same USB id for
both CDMA and GSM devices, and firmware changes often switch around the
ports that actualyl respond to AT commands).

So instead, NM probes the devices.  It seems that your Nokia is not
being properly probed.  What mode are you placing the phone in when you
connect it via USB?  I believe the correct mode is "PC Suite".
