I've got an android LG P690 mobile phone.
I would like to know how to browse its pictures,
videos, and music files from my Ubuntu Desktop system.
I've figured out how to do this with Blutooth, but would
also like to do this using the physical USB to micro USB B
connector between the PC and the mobile phone.
Do I need to install any special drivers in order to get
this to work?

You don't need to install any drivers for USB drives on newer versions of ubuntu, it's like inserting a USB storage drive.
I didn't use a L.G android phone, but this should work on all android phones. Don't know if L.G has tweaked these settings.
This is how I do it on my moto droid. After you connect your droid via USB go to Settings->USB connection and choose mass storage (MSC).
Run "lsusb" in a terminal and check if your phone is already identified, but drive is not mounted.
