Plugging this device in doesn't change anything that was listed above.
Conclusion:
1.The first phone works perfectly fine in Windows XP. I have tried running it through a Virtual Box, but Linux doesn't enumerate it on the usb device list. When I plug it in the phone asks what type of connection to make [Mass Storage, Webcam, COM Port] I choose Mass Storage and it says Done.
2. The second phone I have never had connected to a computer before. The previous owner, one of my friends has on Windows Vista with working results. The cable I am using is a universal cable from Hong Kong, so it may be the problem. I have not had a chance to test this one on Windows XP because I no longer have any Windows operating system in my house.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure the second one is a problem with the cable. I think it will only charge and not transfer data.
