I'm running xubuntu-destop from 12.10 server and am trying to mount my
cell phone as a USB mass storage device. I have mounted the device
before, but that was before I did a clean install of the OS.

Here's what's mounted currently:

thufir@dur:~$ mount
/dev/mapper/dur-root on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=thufir)
thufir@dur:~$ 

I don't see where my phone is located:

Or, rather, how that is useful info. There's nothing in /mnt or /dev
which looks useful -- to me.

Here's the phone: blu deco mini.

The phone looks to be at bus 002 according to lsusb:

thufir@dur:~$ 
thufir@dur:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e8d:0002 MediaTek Inc. 
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:c00e Logitech, Inc. M-BJ58/M-BJ69 Optical Wheel 
Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
thufir@dur:~$ 

As can be seen, there's no sdc nor sdb in /dev:

thufir@dur:~$ 
thufir@dur:~$ ll /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  0 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  1 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  2 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  5 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sda5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 18 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sdb2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 21 Apr 22 06:16 /dev/sdb5
thufir@dur:~$ 

How do I mount the device so that I can browse the contents, and
read/write to the storage chip?
