There are in fact things that you can do with the storage part (or
fake CD) of these devices. I provide a quote from user "nicolas813"
in the usb_modeswitch forum (Aug 08, 2009):

"This is to report success about my previous post.
It is possible to store an ISO linux boot image on the virtual CD of
the K3760 3G USB modem from Vodafone (aka Option's icon 411), and to
boot on it, using the microSD card inside the same USB key as the
/root filesystem.
This provide a very light global environment, with storage (~8Gb)
and connectivity capabilities (3G+++).
I will try and write a step by step HOW-TO."

So there is at least the possibility to do useful things with the
CDROM mode - *if* you are able to control at which point the
switching shall happen.
