It sounds like the Samsung defaults to presenting itself as an MTP
device. There should be a setting to mount the phone as a disk drive.
When you plug the phone in, does a USB symbol appear in the top bar? If
so, slide down the notification bar, and see if you can find a setting
for mounting the phone as a drive. When you do that, banshee should
recognize the phone as a mass storage device, and you'll also be able to
navigate the phone's memory card using a file browser. Otherwise, you
might need to look through the phone's settings to find a way to change
that (Menu button -> Settings -> Connect to PC should allow you to set
the default, if Samsung hasn't tweaked Android too much).
