The Linux drivers should work out of the box, but they are only half of the solution. Now as Paul pointed out, some need specific userspace protocol handlers. I've no experience with sourcing modems, but if you buy modem modules, how can you know in advance that it will work well, for a smartphone usage? More specifically, how to you reduce the risk of having nasty undocumented bugs, with undocumented workarounds that the existing free software isn't aware of? I vaguely remember the GTA04 having similar issues, and I was impressed at how fast it was fixed by the community. I don't remember if the AT commands that fixed it appeared inside the list of supported commands, or if it was documented elsewhere already. Denis.
