A better approach is to give access to a group, then add yourself to the
group.  For example, I use the following code in a udev file
(/etc/udev/rules.d/60-cell.rules):

SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="cell_rules_end"
# LG Phone
SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6000", GROUP="cellusers",
MODE="0660"
LABEL="cell_rules_end"

Of course, you'll need to find the idVendor and idProduct or other
identifying characteristics of the device (and change the names to make
them more appropriate).

Then, add yourself to the cell (or whatever) group.
