The LG phones are the same with two ports. The serial port is ignored. 
Have a look at the detection code in the com_lgvx4400.py to see how it
works.
The serial port is recognised by testing for brew, the filesystem is read to
find the "version.txt" this contains the model name (varies from phone to
phone). There is also a phonebook connector query that returns the model
number in a reply as some phones do not seem to have a version.txt, on one
altel phone the version was buried in another file in the filesystem.
