Also, there is the option of holding down the command and option keys while connecting your phone (that will cause iTunes to open but will disable automatic syncing).

Further, I've found that if you hold down the option key when connecting your phone, iTunes will automatically start up but will throw up that dialogue window about choosing an iTunes library. If you simply hit the Quit button in that window, you've got your phone connected with minimal interference from iTunes.
