Hi Lárus, 
we are using gnokii to communicate with the GSM phone from the server, 
and Hobbit sms is working fine. 
We are however using an old Nokia phone and a special serial cable, 
so that will not help you much. Have you tried gnokii
http://www.gnokii.org/ with this phone. 

Also, where did you get the device. I am very interested in finding 
another GSM device with USB interface, because we will soon be moving 
our Hobbit server to a hardware where serial interface may not be an 
option. 
In that case, I would be trying to do the same thing as you are now. :)
