usbconfig will list devices, if your phone is at ugen2.5 then -
usbconfig -u 2 -a 5 dump_device_desc | grep idVendor

Replace your idvendor in the following -

Put the following into /usr/local/etc/devd/myubuntuphone.conf

attach 200 {
	device-name "ue[0-9]+";
	match "vendor" "0x056a";
	action "/path/to/script options";
};

detach 200 {
	device-name "ue[0-9]+";
	match "vendor" "0x056a";
	action "/path/to/script options";
};
