Sharing bluetooth device

Hi,

I'm using Virtualbox 2.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.10. My guest system is Win XP.
I need to access bluetooth devices from both Linux and Windows:
- I have a bluetooth mouse
- I access my mobile phone from Windows using bluetooth (Nokia soft is available only on Windows.......)

Is there a way to make bluetooth devices visible to both OS ? So far, when I connect the bluetooth controler to Virtualbox (I add the USB device), it gets disconnected from Linux.
I would rather avoid adding a USB bluetooth device..... (I know this would enable me to have one device connected to Linux, and one to Virtualbox guest).

Thanks

Its one or the other not both as far as I've seen, isn't seamless mode working for your mouse?
