The device does work with cdc-acm.  Both GPS and 3G modem (using ppp).
There are several success stories around:

http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2008/12/07/how-to-use-an-att-ericsson-f3507g-card-on-ubuntu-intrepid/
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ericsson_F3507g_Mobile_Broadband_Module

All of these assume that cdc-acm handle the ACM interfaces.

The wdm interfaces also work with the cdc-wdm class driver, and can be
used to configure the device.  This is useful even without the mbm
interface, as the GPS part also need some OOB configuration.
