Is it possible to have low level access to a usb device like a pocket pc phone.
I did a lsusb and got this response where the bold is the device.

You might be able to access (and maybe even 'dd') type usb-storage parts and you might be able to access parts of phone memory but I doubt you'll be able to get low-level access to all without a special forensics kit and without using the other OS. I've never done phone forensics on a HTC though so I may be completely wrong here.

ok but if you were to use dd, what would you use to describe the device.
I think it all depends on the cellphone's firmware. If you need access to the Flash disk and there is no way to get access to them, dissemble the device.
Linux does have a forensics option, but it is rarely set. You will have to re-compile your kernel to enable this option. Then there will be raw nodes or devices that you can access.
