I'm pretty sure it really is drawing too much power. I had 3 different systems that all showed the same symptoms, and lots of other Samsung Intercept users have complained of similar problems. If there was some way to just make it talk USB without also insisting on trying to charge the battery when plugged in, it might be OK :-).
Sounds like it is similar to a Blackberry. You need a driver that will increase voltage to the usb port you are plugged into.

But a powered hub is much easier to get :-).
I did try it on a Windows XP box with the official drivers downloaded from samsung, but XP would just tell me unknown device in the hardware manager, which seems a lot like the same symptom.
