For it to work via USB cable you need to make sure not to use the OSE version of VirtualBox (which does not support USB), but the PUEL one offered for download at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.

I think that having a second bluetooth device is a solution, but definitely not a good one..... Too bad that the host system (Linux) and Virtualbox cannot share a single bluetooth device like it does for a mouse.... Could be a nice enhancement in virtualbox..... I have been trying to pair my bluetooth phone with Linux and then use this pairing in Virtualbox, but no luck so far :-( Hi,

Like you, I installed everything and it all worked fine - however, I also use multisync-quad on the Ubunutu side and that dies every time the dongle is used for syncing through virtualbox. Upon exiting virtualbox I have to uninstall bluez-gnome and re-plug the dongle before reinstalling bluez-gnome otherwise Ubunutu fails to see the device for syncing. It pairs ok and the device is browsable, it just won't sync until this procedure has taken place. I'm not sure whether it's bluez at fault of virtualbox.
