That would be true had I needed to do anything to get udev to support 
the HTC. As things stand, I am mounting the relevant usbfs file system 
with write permissions for my user, so I can mount USB devices inside my 
VirtualBox machines.

My adb sources already had the Samsung Vendor ID.

Just to be sure, I made the udev change and used their binary of adb, 
and deviec still wouldn't show up. It shows up in lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 008: ID 04e8:6640 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Usb Modem 
Enumerator

but not in adb:
/tmp$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached

Either I am missing something else (which is possible), or Cellcom did 
remove adb from the device.
