Excellent question. The answer is "bad"

For example: Bluetooth call quality on my Q is great, but music quality is poor. Bluetooth music quality from my UMPC is great, but the same device doesn't do well with Skype - probably for CPU overhead. My Mac takes it pretty well with Skype, but there are at least 7 bluetooth devices on that desk at any given time plus a big honkin WiFi router and two machines (my N800 and my UMPC) connected over WiFi, so it gets a lot of radio interference and cuts in and out.
