Connecting a phone

I have an LG VX9800 (The V), am using Linux Mint, and just downloaded BitPim. The problem: BitPim doesn't detect my phone. Then again, the computer doesn't even do that. I read here (under Reference > USB > Linux USB Setup) about direct USB access, but Linux Mint apparently doesn't use hotplug. Or at least not in the way BitPim assumed.

Do I need to mount my phone or something? How do I even find it? Where is hotplug, or what does Linux Mint use?

Thanks.
