It's quite likely that you do NOT want to regard this as
a "serial port" device as commonly understood.  It's even 
more likely that you're going to be very happy once you
start reading about gammu <URL: http://www.gammu.org/ >,
an open-source project (or collection of open-source pro-
jects) focussed on mobile telephony handset devices,
especially those from Nokia.

Gammu works particularly well with the 6610 and closely-
related handsets, in my experience; I've been using it so
for a couple of years.

What's your preferred (desktop) operating system?  Which
cable did you buy?  Is it compatible with one made at the
Nokia factories?  Not all USB cables are alike ...
