sony-ericsson W800 cellular doesn't work as an usb mass storage device

I can't mount my sony-ericsson W800 cellular as an usb mass storage device (it doesn't show up as an device).
I run slackware-current (slackware 12.2 rc1)
Using kernel 2.6.27.7
It doesn't even show up when i run 'fdisk -l'

How ever running slackware 12.1 using kernel 2.6.24.5 works (used my other box for 12.1 testing)
I also tried the 12.1 kernel 2.6.24.5 in slackware 12.2 rc1 and then it works.
So it's seems kernel related. (but i'm not experienced enuff to know)

Kernel config 2.6.27.7 http://pastebin.com/m4ba5debe
Kernel config 2.6.24.5 http://pastebin.com/m20a78c4f
dmesg when pluging in the device on 2.6.27.7 http://pastebin.com/m56d5e2e8

dmesg when pluging in the device on 2.6.24.5 running current http://pastebin.com/m2ac79d09

My computer is an Compaq Presario 2800
Phone Sony Ericsson W800i 0fce:d028
What other information would be useful?

I searched the mailing list and found http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/11/276 which seems releated but there was no answer.

(please cc me on any reply)
Thanks,

What do you mean doesn't show up as a device? There doesn't seem to be 
anything unusual in the kernel log, you should have a /dev/sda1 device 
available (at least if udev, etc. are doing their job)..

I also think it should show up as /dev/sda1 but it doesn't. (there is no /dev/sda1 device)
When i use the same setup (udev-135 etc.) and only downgrades the kernel to 2.6.24.5
 then it shows up as an mountable device and works as it should.
This made me guess that it has something to do with the 2.6.27.7 kernel.
But i'm only guessing.
