Sure, that is what I have.  But the VM can't obtain the Samsung phone because it is "in use" by the
host.  Even if I check the box, I get an error.  The phone shows up in the Device Notifier of the host
and I need it to be released and not show there.  I have no problem with flash drives and usb WiFi dongles.
