All bluetooth USB dongles that I've seen have to be plugged into a computer. To do serial stuff, you need a bluetooth serial adapter like these (http://www.sparkfun.com/search/results?term=bluesmirf&what=products). There are other products, too, but Sparkfun's seem to be the most compact and widely used. And no, I don't know why they are so much more expensive than regular USB dongles.
